The basic reason, we prefer Mediawiki for this particular project.
Editing
As an editor Booki has the following issues:
- the writing column is too small making it tricky to edit in --Gremble 14:58, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Publishing
- this is booki's strength, but its not not good enought that we don't have to do cutting pasting and typesetting, so it doesn't really help --Gremble 14:58, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Interaction features
- comments per page/chapter - our project needs to have a discussion section for each page (killer feature of Mediawiki) --Gremble 14:58, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- versioning doesn't work, and isn't on a per chapter basis - I would describe this a as a (killer feature of Mediawiki for our project) --Gremble 14:58, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- granular editing - docs and changes are not on a per paragraph basis, shame --Gremble 14:59, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
What Mark Had to say
Can someone remind me why we're using booki?
I don't like the way the platform handles viewing the current version of the chapter. It opens a javascript sub-window that I can't navigate using my browser controls. It would be much easier to handle the content on either this wiki or we.riseup.net, or if booki opened the chapter for viewing in a new window. Is there a way to make it do so?
Also, it seems to be failing to even display text legibly, are other people seeing things like this:
