The GPL license is a real turn off for us, I'm afraid as far as
collaboration goes.
As far as usage, either we go for a tool that is known to be used or we
stay with the one is already installed. I don't see a reason to move to
another wiki just because.
I'm curious though, RDF storage and indexing is not mentioned anywhere
in their page, can you say more about that?
