Ralf,
I'd just like to second your comment about, "new features are interesting, but the main focus should be to get a new wiki as standard in Moodle."
I couldn't agree more. NWiki looks like a wonderful tool, but until the bugs are fixed, especially the migration issue, it will be hard to persuade users of the present default wiki to switch. I hope the wonderful NWiki team concentrates on fixing bugs rather than creating more new features.
Best of luck to the NWiki development team.

Moodle in English -> Teaching with Moodle -> Allow students to upload their websites? -> Re: Allow students to upload their websites?
Fernando,
I can think of three possible solutions or workarounds.
One workaround is to have students save their website into one zip file and upload the zip file to a Forum or Database activity. Other students could then download the zip file, open it on their own hard disks and view it 'off line'. Not ideal, but it would work.
Another possibility is to either give students their own course in which they have editing rights, and they could then create a 'web site' within a moodle course, or within an existing moodle course they could be given editing privileges over the Web Page resource module. This requires the ability to override roles, and so needs moodle 1.7 or greater. It would also be a rather limited web page.
Another possibility is the Wiki activity module.
None of these solutions are perfect, but they might work for your colleague.

Moodle in English -> Wiki -> Locallib: necessary parameters needed (Nav. tabs not working) -> Re: Locallib: necessary parameters needed (Nav. tabs not working)
Hello,
What versions of moodle are you using? Are you using the most recent one downloaded from CVS?
It seems that as moodle is updated, the standard wiki module becomes less and less viable:

Don,
When you say you are trying to get "two languages to display correctly" do you mean you want to have two languages displaying at the same time, for example Japanese and English as in FUN Moodle, or do you want only one language to appear depending on what language the user has selected to view your moodle system?
You write that you've already checked 'Administration>Server>Environment'. However, one reason why you may be having trouble displaying Japanese (I'm guessing that this is the problem) is that your MySQL database tables are not UTF-8. To check this, please check the 'Environment' settings again. The second line should read:
unicode is required to be installed/enabled.
and to the right of that 'OK'
Also, when you do post asking for help, it's always a good idea to indicate what environment you are running in, i.e. php, mysql and moodle versions. And in this case, a link to your moodle site may help us to see what the problem is.

Moodle in English -> Wiki -> Migrating from Default Moodle Wiki to Nwiki problem -> Re: Migrating from Default Moodle Wiki to Nwiki problem
Pigui,
I activated the wiki blocks you suggested and others, but still no sign of any wiki pages.
I am experimenting with a course that has both a wiki for individual students and a wiki for groups. Both contained pages created with the default wiki but after the migration process none of the pages are visible.
I noticed two things: first, in the original wiki system the default name for the first page (whether or individual or group) is the name of the wiki activity. However, in Nwiki this seems to have been changed to 'student' for an individual wiki and 'group' for a group wiki. I wonder if this has anything to do with the problem?
The second thing I noticed is that in the Nwiki set up page (i.e. the page you see when clicking on the [Update this wiki] button) there is a check box for: "Students can see the teacher's pages". If this is checked and then the settings saved, the following error message appears at the end of the page:
This SQL relies on obsolete tables! Your code must be fixed by a developer.
I hope this information helps.
