wikidot official blog started!
Today I have decided it is a time to start the official blog dedicated to wikibox.com development. What is wikidot? In simple words - it is a wiki farm that will offer users free wiki sites hosting - not only pages, but whole sites with discussion forums, integrable with online photo sharing services, easily integrable with blogs and anything else that provides rss/atom feeds.
The development of wikidot started about one year ago. The design principles were to benefit from new web technologies (buzzwords) such as AJAX.
Our temporary site gives the following goals of the wikidot initiative:
We expect the first tech preview to start as early as May/June 2006. Public beta will be available soon after a period of testing.
The roadmap assumes the final release in July/August 2006. Get ready and watch this blog since it will also include a lot about technical details of modern "Web 2.0" site design, programming tools, web environment, server hardware etc.
all best 4 you!

- pluggable architecture allowing integration with other services, e.g. flickr, blog services, rss and atom feeds
- promoting copyleft content licenses
- release code under LGPL license
