[...] Базирующийся в Сиэтле Wetpaint был в закрытой бете, начиная с марта. В Воскресенье ночью они открылись всему миру, позволяя любому создавать бесплатные вики на любые темы.Хорошим примером может послужить эта вики о XBOX 360. Как и pbwiki, Wikia и JotSpot, Wetpaint это wiki-решение, предоставляемое вместе с хостингом, поддерживающее wysiwyg-редактирование (не нужно знать специальные теги wiki или html). Каждую wiki (и каждую страницу на wiki) можно помечать тегами, и Wetpaint предоставляет всевозможные wiki-функции, такие как блокировка записи, безопасность и т.д. [...]

[...] 假如你对wikimedia 那种生硬死板，而且一成不变的界面感到厌倦的话。Nicole 推荐你尝试使用Wetpaint 这个能大幅度提升视觉效果的WiKi 发布系统。Wetpaint 在三月份的时候已经开始进行内部测试，而现在已经全面开放注册，你可以在上面申请一个讨论任何话题的WiKi 开始你和你朋友们的共同创作之旅。与pbwiki, Wikia 还有JotSpot 相类似，Wetpaint 提供的同样是一个WiKi 托管服务，同时你再也不需要像以前在WiKimedia 里面发布信息时候，为了追求格式多样化，而常常需要自己编写HTML 代码了。Wetpaint 给你提供了一个良好的所见即所的的写作平台。而且从设置到发布的过程也非常简单：或许让你花费最多时间的阶段将是在Wetpaint 预先提供给你10 多个绚丽超酷的模板当中，选择出你自己最喜欢的一个了。尽管到目前为止Wetpaint 的自定义范围仍然有限，同时你还不能安装在自己的服务器上面运行。可良好的连接速度，优良的界面设计，加上广泛的Tag 标签功能（每一个页面都能打入相关的Tags，从而提高搜索的精确性），确实是Nicole 所希望向你推荐的一个很好的托管选择，而且是Wetpaint 一项免费的服务哦。 [...]

For those of you who have looked at Brickiwiki, there is a site called Brickwiki (http://www.brickwiki.org) that has both more users and precedes Brickiwiki.

I disagree with the naysayers. I’m a LEGO maniac myself and just registered with Wetpaint’s BrickiWiki. I anticipate any kinks will be worked out soon enough. In the mean time, I like this interface so much better than Wikipedia’s.

Come on, you have to admit- it’s a lot prettier to look at than Wikipedia, too. Plus, it combines nice features from blogs that helps to foster more of a community feel. Wikipedia is sterile to me and the mods are such fascists!

[...] There was also ProductWiki and Wetpaint. ProductWiki does not seem like an idea that will take off, but you never know. Wetpaint, on the other hand, is doing something interesting (to me at least). It seems that they are attempting to make their wiki more user friendly by removing the wiki syntax. While I appreciate what they are trying to do, I believe that it is a mistake. [...]

What Tom Mandel said about pbwiki and stikipad. Jotspot is head-and-shoulders above WetPaint, though a vastly more complex application. This is a pitiful puff piece; not representative I hope of your other work which I had thought was decent before this.

Neato, a wiki.

Yawn.

$5 Mill?!?, I bet the owners have nice cars now.

Very nice, I like the WYSIWYG VERY much. Will there be a downloadable version that will be installed server-side? Or do you ONLY host it?

Also, what will pricing options be? I work on an open-source project (wc3mods.net) and have been looking to use a wiki that is simple for my users to edit, mediawiki isn’t the easiest to use b/c of the markup language. Your solution looks quite nice but of course I’d have to be able to afford it since it’s an open-source project.

Ideas on pricing?

[...] TechCrunch m’a fait découvrir WetPaint, un outil de wiki utilisant du AJAX et des tags, qui semble très prometteur. Take a tour! [...]

The application looks nice, but it somewhat looks as a rehash of MediaWiki with many improvements and/or “Web 2.0″ elements in the interface.

I agree with the above comment by James about the complexity of it.

I have been using stikipad myself to create and collaborate documents and projects, and it is a great, easy to use and pleasant application.

Stikipad is almost like three 37signals products combined: (Writeboard, TaDa and Backpack). You have to learn the markup of Textile but, Textile is a simple markup language.

Admittedly, the Ajax is really nifty. The editing interface is superb. However, I find the rest of the interface to be complex, and bewildering, much more so than say, Wikipedia’s. True, in order to type in wikipedia you effectively have to learn a new markup code, but it only opens a single box on the screen. Really good job on the javascript though

Looks really good, but thats all I can say about it … that it looks really good. I don’t see any addition in functionality, and its much slower to load than Wikipedia or the likes.

Nothing too big, but will be amazing if made faster!

Wet Paint…

Scream and Yell Originally uploaded by bruceley. Just checked out Wet Paint Wiki as reviewed on Tech Crunch. Looks neat and tidy, but from the tour it didn’t look like anything spectacular. Plus I couldn’t add comments or edit…

Looks like it has potential, but could be a little neater.

“You can get a good overview of how users interact with wiki’s built on the platform by going through the rather tedious tour.”

wiki’s or wikis?

Run a grammar check too.

By: Scott

The code it produces could be cleaned up a bit. For example, text could be wrapped in paragraph tags, and two line breaks could start a new paragraph (which seems to be a common expectation among users) rather than inserting two line breaks. The edit-in-place functionality is certainly cool, however.

Tom – Good Point. the numbers do not make sense.

By: Tom Mandel

Tom Mandel — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 01:58:33 +0000

If it’s true, btw, that they raised $5.25m to build this application, I’m kinda blown away. I doubt there’s $100K invested in pbwiki and stikipad combined! How can this company be successful enough to provide a meaningful return on a standard vc investment (i.e. make $50m on the $5m invested). Too bad.
