IBM launching a wiki product?
This post from Joho the Blog seems to indicate so. It appears to have had its genesis in IBM's own internal social-software toolset.
Extensions to wikis that lets people "easily link together applications and services that are on the Web." David Sink and Joel Farrell show the QEDWiki demo. They show a table of contacts and then turn it into a database. They do a "mash up" with Google Maps and weather data. Right now, it requires on-screen programming, but they assure us it'll be much more user-friendly when it ships…. It's php-extensible. It uses AJAX.
The mystery product was also called "Appliki" earlier in the post. Not sure if that's a name or a categorical description. Not a lot of detail, but it bears watching.

Preparing to wrap it as a product? Who knows …
