Mozilla Selects MindTouch as Future Platform for Developer Community
 
SAN DIEGO, May 7, 2008 - MindTouch today announced the release of
MindTouch Deki Wiki "Jay Cooke" v8.05--the latest version of its
award-winning open source enterprise collaboration and integration
platform. The Deki Wiki v8.05 release was driven in part by the
requirements of Mozilla, which selected MindTouch for the upcoming
re-launch of their Mozilla Developer Community.
 
MindTouch Deki Wiki v8.05 continues MindTouch's tradition of bleeding
edge technology with innovations in internationalization/localization,
search, user management, integrated scripting, automation, mash-ups,
user experience and more... Specifically, this new release
revolutionizes multilingual content management. Previously, Mozilla
managed 16 distinct sites, one for each language. Deki Wiki v8.05
introduces a new polyglot feature that allows Mozilla to host all
languages as a single site. Now language can be specified by sections
and pages thereby automatically adapting the user interface of Deki Wiki
to the appropriate language. Also, users may search across all languages
and search results are prioritized by the user's default language.
Lastly, Deki Wiki v8.05 supports OpenSearch, which makes integrating
search with other applications nearly automatic.
 
In order to meet the needs of Mozilla's large and open community, v8.05
also includes new sophisticated tools for IP and user banning,
transactional page management, the addition of MediaWiki-like talk pages
and provides new functionality that matches and exceeds MediaWiki
templates. With the addition of more than 100 new functions added to the
DekiScript runtime, a built-in scripting language that's point-and-click
simple, v8.05 continues to lead as the most powerful platform for
connecting enterprise systems, web-services, and Web 2.0 applications.
Now it's easier than ever to create content, systems automation, dynamic
reports, and situational applications.  
 
In MindTouch's continuing effort to lead the market with the absolute
best user experience this release includes several improvements that,
yet again, raises the bar for the industry. Some of these improvements
are: an all new file uploader, improved dialogs and on-the-fly content
transforms that allow users to specify selections of text for syntax
highlighting, SVG, LaTex, various graphs, and more... Moreover, adding
new content transforms is a trivial matter for a site admin and takes
only minutes.
 
MindTouch Deki Wiki is the only platform that delivers polyglot, content
transforms, and allows users to connect systems and easily create data
mashups, situational apps, and more... And does so with point-and-click
ease.
 
MindTouch's Web Oriented Architecture, feature set, and user experience
were reasons cited by Mike Shaver, Mozilla's Chief Evangelist, for
having selecting Deki Wiki after an extensive evaluation of vendors.
"I'm looking forward to deploying Deki Wiki for the Mozilla Developer
Center; especially with the enhancements that the Jay Cooke release
brings," said Shaver, "Mozilla believes in the power of the web to bring
people together in wonderfully collaborative ways and MindTouch Deki
Wiki's extensibility and flexible architecture will allow us bring more
of this to our developer community. The opportunity to easily create our
own tools and extensions on top of Deki's extensive API is sure to
inspire some great improvements from our community."
