Wiki software sucks right now. What features do you want in a wiki consumer site?

The big things for me (and ironically, none of these will be available in MT's product @launch):

  • OpenID single login
  • Exportability of data (unfortunately the lack of standardized formats make this hard
  • API on my wiki instance (who wants to try to import content into a wiki using a lame webform?)

I'm a bit vague on the features ... I sometimes feel I've been stuck in the same "wiki feature set" mentality for far too long :)

I need to get swarmf.com back up ASAP, (man, I would have *loved* to build a Hansbrough/Henderson swarmf, oh well) because I'd like to see some mixture of Swarmf's functionality in a wiki ... sorta hard to explain right now, though.

Right now Stikipad has the best wiki service in my mind. Duplicate their features and do them one better and you have me sold. Plus I'd love to see swarmf.com back up. :) Are ya'll using Twitter? It would be cool to be able to update a wiki with your phone via SMS.
