Can you explain how this is different / better than Google Docs? I can't tell from the home page.

If Google docs is an alternative to Word, then this is an alternative to Sharepoint.

As opposed to collaborative document authoring, collaborative knowledge management allows things like collaborative document arrangement, a better permission system, links between documents, better searchability and more.

Got past over-quota issue and gave google permissions, but Chrome OSX shows nothing when you login.

JS console shows:

    Uncaught ReferenceError: goog is not defined socket.js:43

    Uncaught Error: Load timeout for modules: text!templates/context_menu.html require.js:26

Very neat! I have thought quite a bit about how to make wikis easier to work with, but I don't know if I'll need to anymore because you pretty much nailed it! Real-time markdown editing is a great idea.

A few things:

* Making an ordered list right after an unordered one and vice versa doesn't render properly.

* New pages always become children of the first page, and I don't know how to turn them into root pages or make them in the first place.

* Signing out doesn't work.

* Clicking away while editing a page title doesn't save it.

* Public links and history are on top of my wishlist for this.
