More Roadmap[edit | edit source]

  1. like mw:Extension:Page Schemas, mobo (a node.js package) can be used to develop specific use case models for SMW and is considered a "Deploy Automation Framework" because it lives outside the wiki, but can inject into the wiki the data structures (and changes) that are needed to use the model in the organization.
  2. mw:Extension:Piwik Integration for integrating the Piwik analytics platform (which is local so you control your data)
  3. Add service for visualization of the wiki
  4. Visual Diff is coming
  5. https://collaborate.mitre.org/extensions/index.php/Hierarchy_Builder

Distributions[edit | edit source]

Compare QualityBox extensions with BlueSpice, and integrate the compare tool to QualityBox importer

There is a category page that lists BlueSpice extensions
