Press Release Summary: New features include integrated scripting engine, support for
Dapper, Amazon S3, and Google Charts, multi-user edit merging, and is now available
in nine languages

Press Release Body: San Diego, Calif., Jan. 7, 2008 - MindTouch announced a
substantial upgrade to Deki Wiki, the world\'s most popular vendor-backed wiki.

Deki Wiki is a free scalable and programmable open source wiki and application
platform. With the new release, Deki Wiki extends the ability for communities and
businesses to deploy enterprise-class custom applications and mashups.

The new release makes it easier to extend the platform for almost any environment
with the addition of a built-in scripting engine. It eliminates the need to use a
separate programming environment to add widgets, external services, or javascript
libraries to Deki Wiki. Now extensions can be developed entirely in Deki Wiki as if
they were a natural part of the platform.

The company's dekiscript makes it easier for site admins to customize interaction
within the wiki and external applications as well as simplifying and extending the
ability to create mashups.

The extensive open source platform also offers seamless Dapper integration,
providing the ability to create "dapps" that query the Internet as one giant
database directly from within the wiki. This enables the ability to create new
mashups that leverage web services, widgets and applications to improve how people
obtain and interact with data.

For example, admins can quickly create a "dapp" that queries particular stats from
around the Web, which can feed into Google Charts for a visible display of the
real-time results.

Deki Wiki also features native support for Amazon S3, which automatically stores all
file attachments in "the cloud." And on S3, all files are versioned, searchable,
and previewable with the inclusion of ThinkFree, an alternative Web-based suite for
viewing MS Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

The addition of multi-tenant support now makes it possible to run thousands of wikis
with a single setup.

One inherent challenge with wikis has been edit conflicts, which occur when one user
attempts to edit a page, but another user has already modified it. MindTouch's new
merge engine does word-level analysis to merge edit conflicts and formatting
changes, making tedious corrections a thing of the past.

The new wiki is available in nine languages with the recent addition of Japanese,
Polish, and Spanish with all languages contributed by the company's OpenGarden
community of "gardeners."
