tegwick 7d1fb97968 research: write up wiki-engines landscape scan; send IAM demand to netkingdom
- Add README.md + findings.md to research/260608-wikiengines-overview/ to
  match sibling research convention (was a bare Perplexity dump). findings.md
  synthesizes the engine landscape into adapter-contract implications and maps
  to INTENT (capability heterogeneity, L0->L4 ladder, backend-neutrality).
- Mark the netkingdom integration demand as sent: capability request
  3136a9e2 (auto-routed to netkingdom) + inbox message 46c60f17.

260608 — Wiki engines overview (landscape scan)

Date: 2026-06-08

What this is

A breadth-first landscape scan of notable wiki engines — Wiki.js, XWiki, MediaWiki, Semantic MediaWiki, DokuWiki, TiddlyWiki, TWiki, Foswiki, Confluence, C2, Federated Wiki, Fossil — captured to understand the design space shard-wiki orchestrates over (and deliberately does not re-implement).

Complements the deeper-dive research:

  • research/260608-c2-wiki-origins/ — pre-federation wiki culture
  • research/260608-federation-concepts/ — Federated Wiki, git/AP federation models
  • research/260608-yawex-prior-art/ — the specific Perl engine being superseded

Focus: what each engine is for, its storage/permission model, and what its existence implies for shard-wiki's adapter contract — not engine selection.

Contents

Path Role
findings.md Synthesis: storage/permission axes, shard-wiki mapping, adapter implications, open questions
260608-perplexity-wikiengines-research.md Raw source dump (Perplexity), kept as provenance

Status

Initial scan complete. Reinforces the INTENT stance that shard-wiki is an orchestrator, not an engine: the heterogeneity below is the problem space, not a menu to pick from. Adapter-contract implications feed workplans/SHARD-WP-0002-federation-architecture.md.
