I am researching Daisy Wiki for a company who might implement it.
But there is some questions that need to be answered in order to compare between different wikis. Any input on these questions will be appreciated.
1. Can edits, views and other types of activity be logged and reviewed easily?
2. Can Content be easily stored and backed up?
3. Can blogs and chats be stored?
4. Can blogs be monitored?
5. Can blogs be reviewed before being published?
6. Can activities be tracked by groups and individuals?
7. Can the content be exported easily to other content management sites?(i.e. Sharepoint)
8. If blogs and discussions are supported then can they be referenced in articles?
9. What are the space limitations? (i.e. Page limitations)
10. Ability to mark documents as confidential, with different status (i.e. complete) and with different priority
11. What type of formatting is allowed? Are there any formatting restrictions?
12. Does it allow importing of external documents to create a new document or to add as a new version to an existing one?
13. Does it have the ability to form groups like project groups and teams to collaborate on the team?
Thanks.

Add Answer1. Absolutely
2. Yes
Not sure how you plan to use "blogs" within the wiki interface but I'm sure you can store, review, monitor whatever you use as your "blog" interface
6. Yes
7. Yes - XML feed
8. Yes - again this is a simple reference
9. None
10. No
11. Yes
12. Yes - XML feed
13. Not sure
Also take a look at http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_2/docs/daisywiki/general/23-cd.html - this will give a lot more detail/context
Why not take a CMS system like Drupal and circumvent ALL these issues - there's a module for each of the above mentioned questions and its a simple plug and play.
Or there's always mediawiki...
I'm not sure what advantages Daisy Wiki is going to give you? Limited support, Limited Documentation and Limited Functionality is how I see this...

This system integrates well to an existing Java based environment. Not everyone runs a PHP based web environment.
It's also very good at hosting multiple sites, and scales very well. At least that's my experience with Daisy.
