I have found that there are plans by a couple of developers for implementing different versions of the Wiki module which incorporate wiki like functions along with the syntax filtering.
I am actaully looking for just an upgrade to the 4.4.x wiki module to 4.5 so I can use it on the sites that I'm upgrading. Wiki functionality I think will be a valued addition to Drupal, but I have sites that depend on the old wiki module/filter because the content was populated on these sites using the wiki syntax supported by this module.
So, I'll ask the question again. :) Anyone have plans to upgrade the old 4.4.x wiki module?
Just wondering where this is going. Mediawiki is so powerful, I'm wondering if there is a way to connect a mediawiki to a drupal site and share user tables rather than having everything integrated? any ideas?
I've been working on ways to interconnect Drupal with MediaWiki. Specifically, I've written a Drupal module called "wmfilter.module," which makes it easy for Drupal users to link to the Wikipedia and other wiki-based websites (such as my own Disinfopedia. It uses the same interwiki table as MediaWiki, which is a (small) start in the direction of the integration you're talking about.
If there are any Drupal users here who want to try out the wmfilter module, you can download it from this website.

I've posted a similar comment on the CivicSpace site — I'm looking for information on fully integrating MediaWiki and Drupal/CS (MW as a Drupal module, using the same user tables, ideally using the same database). It sounds like you're working on accomplishing that, though I understand that it is a potentially huge puzzle. I'd love to hear about what you've learned from that process, as I am hoping to set up a site using that structure.
In particular, I'd like to know how feasible you think this is. If it's feasible, I'm curious about your assessment of its time-scale, and any suggestions you might have for someone who wants to head that direction. Is it a matter of throwing a few switches, would I have to rewrite all of one project or the other, or is it somewhere in between? Where?

Wiki patch to upgrade to 4.5
OK, so it turns out it's not that complicated to upgrade modules. :) Here's my shot at it:

any work on this?

Here's one small step in that direction

New Wiki module on it's way
A new Wiki-module is on it's way: http://drupal.org/node/52816
I think this looks very promising!
