Today I presented at a conference here in Portland about Inkscape, Mediawiki, and Firefox, and showed off how to create Mediawiki extensions with SVG produced by Inkscape to expand wiki into a more graphical space. I wrote a bit about this yesterday in my blog (http://www.bryceharrington.org/blosxom.cgi/2006/02/01#wiki_svg I've implemented a simple barchart thingee. Aubanel was kind enough enough to send me a copy of her <a href="http://un.regne.net/dotclear/index.php/2005/10/27/67-who-likes-svg-eyecandy">SVG graphing PHP</a>, so I'm planning to hack on hooking that in with with Mediawiki perhaps this weekend.
That is pretty cool. I was bouncing around an idea for an SVG Wiki. I though it would be really cool if you could set up a Jabber back end and use Inkboard for editing the images. Then everyone could collaborate, and show the SVG images live. I think all you'd need is some sort of listener on the chat room that would write out the files, and then link to those 'live files' on the Webpage. You could get some sort of Javascript refresh, or if you were really fancy use AJAX to see the live updates.
Yup, just simple matter of coding, right? ;-)
