Paul Hammant describes a setup consisting of a WebDAV-enabled web server (essentially a web server that allows publishing of files) and a WebDAV-capable editor (essentially a web browser that allows publishing of files) and calls it An alternative to wikis
.
This approach is very interesting, because it allows you to use powerful editing tools for publishing content on the web and uses technologies and standards that are widely distributed and proven. All you need is a server and a browser capable of publishing content.
The Mindquarry Wiki embraces the idea of being able to publish content via this technique. There is a user-friendly rich-text editor available as well, but using HTTP allows you to publish content via more powerful tools and it allows you to easily create own applications that publish to the Mindquarry Wiki. One example of these tools is the Mindquarry Client which allows easy one-click publishing from your desktop, e.g. for taking notes and sharing with your team members.
