Are we Headed for a Wiki World?

Wikipedian writes "BusinessWeek asks are we headed for a Wiki World?. With US-based SocialText using their wiki to leverage just $600K in capital, and European competitor Team Notepad, not to mention freeware alternatives like TWiki and MoinMoin is the whole world going to be using wikis instead of the proprietary dinosaurs like Lotus Notes?"

I find this a little hard to believe. There is a Notes 6.5 client that runs on Mac OS X, so it couldn't be too hard to port to other *nix based systems. Notes/Domino is a viable competitor to Outlook/Exchange, and does all that a Wiki could along with calendar/email.

In the business world, there is a need for something 'wiki-like' but without email and calander, its a no go. Notes takes the cake. You have the personal email/calendar, but also the public document repository. Port to more platforms and no contest.
