I am surprised that there is not an established open format for data exchange between wikis. Over the past few months I’ve consolidated hundreds of Microsoft Word Documents into VoodooPad, a nice desktop wiki for Mac.
I had some data in MediaWiki on a server, which took me several hours to bring down locally, total PITA.
At one point, the Flyingmeat folks who are behind VoodooPad had released a synchronization tool to keep local VoodooPad docs synched up with remote wikis. Unfortunately, the feature was removed at some point.
I hope someone runs with this, maybe a subgroup of the Data Portability folks. At the same time VoodooPad needs a general refresh and a better way to find out which pages are not in a category. One you have 100+ pages it gets to be time consuming to find what I’m looking for unless it’s in a category.
