Wiki Client

Has anyone ever thought of writing a web browser based WikiClient? I have in mind a stand alone program that connects to wiki and presents itself as a wiki interface. A simple html renderer would probably be needed, but that's readily available on all platforms in some sort of component form.

What features could make this a worthwhile project. A WikiSpider? for enhanced search? A better spell-checker certainly. "WysiWyg" editing certainly.

Yes, FridemarPache has expressed interest in this. You might ask him. In the meantime:

By the way, you should be able to accomplish what you want through a web interface, belying the need for a separate browser component. -- SunirShah

I do not agree, although wiki markup is fairly simple many people avoid wiki use due to the syntax. I think a true wysiwyg editor would accelerate wiki use by less technical people.
