Ward Cunningham, the (Hypercard-inspired) initiator of wikis in the 1990s, has been making impressive progress with his open source "Smallest Federated Wiki" project: http://wardcunningham.github.io/ .
Is there a path for Livecode stacks to be exported to (or otherwise integrated with) SFW?

Re: Livecode <-> Smallest Federated Wiki?
There's always a path. The hard part is finding the one that's actually useful 
LiveCode stacks are binary data, so if you can attach download links to your wiki platform of choice, then that's probably the easiest way.
If you want to do a lot of tedious and hard work, you can write an exporter that uses LC-based objects and text information to create something the mentioned wiki platform can read. But you will probably not be able to easily transfer the more complex information like locations/layouts, sounds or scripts. The other way is probably a simpler: a stack that downloads, interprets and shows the wiki data.
