15. In a related effort, Ivan has frozen Verison 1.0 of the document format used in the Journal (and wiki). The general datastore, differential storage engine, and indexing engine are also largely finished. A WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor in progress, as well as a reference identity service/emergent public key infrastructure implementation.

After looking over and reviewing the comments over the weekend, we have included some recommended changes and have now launched a final Creole 0.1 spec. Thanks to everyone for contributing! Soon time to start working on Creole 0.2...

Final changes:

• changing hyphens to asterisks for unordered lists
• removed mixed lists

I posted a draft of Creole 0.1 and we believe all the rough edges have been smoothed out, but are still seeking comments and criticisms from the wiki community. Please leave your comments on Talk.Creole0.1. We plan to release a final spec on Monday (11-Sep-2006), so last day to comment on Creole 0.1 is this Sunday (10-Sep-2006).

Alex Schroeder has been developing a Creole Markup Extension for OddMuse. It is currently in use at the Wiki Ohana wiki.

WikiMatrix, a service which compares 65 wiki engines, has just added a wiki syntax comparison tool specifically for Wiki Creole. Here you can choose which element you would like to compare and then you can see how it is done in 65 wiki engines. Thanks Andreas Gohr for your help!
