We will add 'Wiki markup syntax as an option' to our roadmap and we do have plans to integrate the Zoho services more closely together.

Infact, the pace of AdventNet is faster than Zoho with atleast one new product release a month. Zoho just has 80 people working on the apps while AdventNet has 400+ developers working on 60+ products. David:

Google might be smart to acquire this division of AdventNet and have a full office suite. I became familiar with AdventNet actually through their other products - such as OpManager (a network monitoring utility) and ServiceDesk (a help desk and inventorying software). Their prices are much more reasonable than many comparable products and offer significantly full feature-sets (though I wonder if development on these products is suffering because of their race to complete Zoho features).

It's ok to offer wysiwyg editing, even as default option, but there should be a way to edit pages in text plain with a wiki markup syntax. I've checked the settings dialog and didn't found how to edit pages like that. I suggest integrating wiki with e-mail and obviously with the rest of the Zoho suite (something like creating a page with a special syntax and automagically it's a Contact Record in the CRM product...and the other way, inserting a macro and you get the list of pending tasks from the Project Mgt tool) I don’t have an opinion on Zoho as a online office suite (beyond it’s quite slow…perhaps it’s the demo server) but the wiki breaks totally with the wiki philosophy: it should be simple and fast.

If the HTML is script, and the script writes into the document (like badge scripts do) then it will eventually start saving the rendered HTML and lose the original script. The wiki page becomes uneditable after this happens. I've an account at Jotspot, and what I see there now that it's under Google's banner is outstanding. It includes a modern powerful blogging interface (can include wiki content), calendaring, spreadsheets, file folders and picture galleries. I'm completely enamored with this service. http://rickdog.jot.com/WikiHome/The%20Doghouse I'll send you an invite. Zohowiki is a good beta start, but has a big problem with inserting HTML.

However, if you're trying to really build a collaborative community-based website, I'm not sure using Zoho is the best choice - do they really have the time to understand the needs of such diverse audiences across so many differnent types of applications? For my money, if a hosted wiki application is what you want more than anything else, I'd start with WetPaint.com or PBwiki. It's what they do...and the only thing they do.
