Citing Insomania
//...which implicitly suggests Creole is not so much a specification of a form of wiki markup but is a compromise like the Israel-Palestinian"peace" which is doomed to failure.//
//If Creole is to become a markup specification, then it will invariably collide with some other forms of markup, and it is about time it made those aims clear, otherwise I'm wasting my timehere!! - indeed //
Well, Chuck and Me started with the goal of creating a markup standard, but it is an unrealistic goal either: We don't have a "standardisation body" that everyone trusts, like the W3C, thats what we had to learn from the [[Meatball:HeilbronnWMSDiscussion]]. We don't have the resources to do the traditional standardization process. This discussion and a long talk I had with Ward Cunningham and Eugene Kim at the Wikimania 2006 lead us to the current design of Creole.
We can't simply proclaim a "Peace". Engines have to grow together, an that will take time. Creole might be an intermediate solution, or a permanent, who knows. But if we don't start NOW we'll never know. It's a compromise, but who are you, who are we to say that all others are wrong? The only thing we can do is to convince all engine developers that it is reasonable and useful to have "Peace" even if that means that they have to invest time and give away land (People can more easily switch engines for example).
The only thing we, the users, can do here is to convince the governments (The engine developers) to tear down the borders by using the same markup, that is not dictated by a single other engine. Thats why the [[Wikisym 2007 Workshop]] proposed to convince the most powerful users, the big companies, to support Creole and make it a requirement if they introduce a wiki.
Please read through the [[Meatball:HeilbronnWMSDiscussion]] before you are wasting your time here.
