Here are some well-known issues, both fixed and unfixed; see also the IssueTracker and ReleaseNotes.
Zwiki
- Zwiki, Zope, and Plone can be memory hungry; hosting many large wikis on a VPS can be challenging. Memory pressure can cause visible warmup delays and slow viewing and editing operations. Wikis with thousands of pages and revisions might require hundreds of M or a G of ram for good performance.
- Unicode errors can occasionally arise with non-ascii content, depending on your versions of Zope, Zwiki, and ZCatalog indexes. Be sure to follow the version recommendations. (Should be better now with Zwiki 2).
- Page hierarchy can get confused, requiring you to visit SomePage/updatecontents or even delete the outline object in the wiki folder. The latter re-alphabetizes all subtopics.
- Translations are incomplete.
Zope
- Zope >= 2.10 prefers Zwiki 0.60 or newer. Zope <= 2.9 prefers Zwiki 0.59. Zope <= 2.6 requires Zwiki 0.28. See also http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/VersionsMatrix .
- StructuredText is simple but has some glitches, you may prefer RestructuredText.
Plone
Plone 2.x and 3.x require Zwiki >= 0.61.
Remember to register Zwiki with your Plone site using Plone's add/remove product screen.
Zwiki and Plone's content management model and UI do not mesh perfectly.
