I just prefer that syntax over the TinyMCE editor (and obviously anything is better than writing out pure HTML when you're really just trying to write content quickly).

I've been really fascinated with the idea of integrating the two for quite some time. Just the idea of this plugin gave me a bunch of ideas for writing my own plugin with even tighter integration between the two. I've read Jim's (first commenter) about UMW wordpress/mediawiki coupling for a while. A common layout (misty look) for the two seems to be as far as most people have gotten. I recently started porting the <a href="http://getk2.com/" rel="nofollow">K2 WordPress theme</a> to <a href="http://github.com/auzigog/k2mediawiki/tree/master" rel="nofollow">a K2 MediaWiki skin</a>. I doubt I'll ever get around to finishing it, but the basics are done if anyone ever feels like finishing up the styling. I even made a config file to make the integration with a K2-themed blog a little tighter. This is a great start at integrating WordPress and Mediawiki.

You have me looking though. I do think that what you have in mind is probably most likely found with Elgg, not BuddyPress. I guess I'd have a better idea if I just went ahead and installed BP and got a peek at the admin. I'm not sure there is unity with the WPMU access/permissions and those of any BP plugins. Matt–

Something like the Pages module in Elgg where I can assign fine-grained access controls to wiki pages associated with posts or groups is needed, i.e. something more like a separate mini-wiki that inherits the access controls of the post or group. I'll stick with Elgg for now, but keep an eye on how Buddypress progresses. For the record, this is not exactly the type of wiki integration that I need.

I am using it for the UMW Blogs documentation, and it is amazing cause folks can just grab my stuff if they want: http://umwblogs.org/support The problem with it not working with a MediaWiki on your server may have something to do with the version of MediaWiki you are using. I found that this plugin doesn't work on MediaWiki version older than either 1.10.x or 1.11.x. That was the problem I was having on the bavawiki, so I am actually pulling it in from the UMW Blogs wiki here until I update my own: http://www.umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu%2C_BuddyPress%2C_and_bbPress Though I was glad to see it is compatible with the trunk version of WPMu 2.7 :) Hey Steve,
