Mu Swiki

A MuSwiki is a Swiki-like system which uses Morphic objects instead of HTML. The key features of a MuSwiki are:

• the use of Morphic objects (See MorphicInterface) instead of HTML code.
• Pages look the same on anyone's browser.
• Any user may update any page in the system.
• Users are prevented from updating a page at the same time.
• When one user updates a page, all other users viewing the same page are shown the new version.
• Content may contain arbitrary Smalltalk code behind the scenes!

"...arbitrary Smalltalk code behind the scenes" sounds like a major security hazard. I assume that MuSwiki should only be used among a small group of trusted peers? --PatrickParker

...Pages look the same on anyone's browser

Why is this a good thing?

I don't understand the use of the term Morphic (i.e. a shape) in this context. Could someone please explain?

Morphic is part of SqueakSmalltalk and seems to be for rapid GUI creation.
