David Ornstein works at Microsoft. He is the primary original author and a key contributor to the software (FlexWiki) that makes this wiki run.

A ContentBase is the things that holds a bunch of topics. Currently a ContentBase is backed by a set of files in a folder in the file system. An AbstractContentBase would be a generalization of this concept to allow for various kinds of storage "behind" the content base (e.g., SOAP, database).

LinkedFederations would allow a federation to include ContentBases that it can't reach via the local file system. This would likely be SOAP-based and would allow two people, each running a federation to include each other's ContentBases.

FlexWiki would be great if it were integrated more with SharePoint. People who are used to using SharePoint would be faster to start using wiki if it were (better) integrates

FlexWiki makes it easy to display pictures and other images by either using a URL to an image file, but there's no obvious place to put them. It would be great to have each ContentBase have a well-established place for uploaded images -- with an easy upload button.

FlexWikiEditor is a Windows Forms client for FlexWiki that communicates with FlexWiki using the FlexWikiWebService.

FlexWikiWebService is a WebService that exposes APIs for retrieving and modifying content on a FlexWiki instance.

the MetaWebLogAPI is a popular blogging API that many applications support. The FlexWikiMetaWeblogAPI will wrap the FlexWikiWebService and expose some of the functions in the BloggerAPI and the MetaWeblogAPI allowing existing blogging implimentations to post/edit TopicNames.
