MindTouch announced yesterday a new incremental release of Deki Wiki 8.05.1 (Jay Cooke) ahead of next week's final release of its popular open source collaboration platform. In addition to general performance improvements, "Deki Wiki 8.05.1 also includes new functionality like single sign-on utilizing Apache/IIS authentication modules (experimental) which... allows for easy integration with auth systems like NTLM. Extensions now digitally sign requests to extensions, and we can finally authenticate for private RSS feeds! All Javascript libraries that are shipped with Deki Wiki were updated to their latest versions: jQuery 1.2.3, YUI 2.5.1, FCKeditor 2.6.0, and Xinha 0.95."

MindTouch has gotten a lot of attention in the press recently for its new relationship with Mozilla, which adopted the Deki Wiki platform for the relaunch of its Developer Center. Mozilla's Chief Evangelist Mike Shaver said recently the decision to select Deki WIki was driven in part by its new polyglot feature that allows developers to view and use the site in one of almost 20 languages:

"Mozilla is a large project, and our Developer Center alone has hundreds of editors collaborating in more than a dozen languages to create tens of thousands of pages of content. With the Jay Cooke release of Deki Wiki, we have more powerful localization tools than ever before, and great support for working with many different types of web content at our significant scale."
