Structured Wikis
----------------
Circa May 2012 there are a few options for structured data in wikis:
*[Semantic MediaWiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki)* is
probably the best option, though it is unfortunately in PHP. This is a series
of plugins/extensions to vanilla MediaWiki, which add editing (with or without
forms), querying, visualization, import/export, etc.
*MediaWiki with the [WikiDB](http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiDB)*
(PHP)
*DokuWiki with [data plugin](http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:data)* (PHP)
*eLog* could be used to collaboratively edit simple data.
*TWiki* has structured data features and an input form (Perl).
DBPedia uses [custom extraction
tools](http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Documentation?v=6hz) for MediaWiki written in
Scala. dbpedialite uses just calls the Wikipedia API (Ruby).
You can [search](http://www.wikimatrix.org/search.php?sid=54395) wikimatrix for
wiki engines which have a "structured data" feature.
Semantic Data Publishing
------------------------
[OntoWiki](http://ontowiki.net/Projects/OntoWiki/Features)
[Google Refine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Refine) (formerly known as
Freebase Gridworks) seems pretty useful for "cleaning up" datasets. It's a Java
"workstation" app with a web/http interface.
USB Performance Issues
----------------------
Parallelized mass storage transfers are much slower than serialized:

Inkscape Black Rectangle Box Issue
-------------------------------------
For some reason Inkscape sometimes inserts a black box into .svg files which
are invisible within Inkscape but visible when exported.
To remove this box, edit the raw XML using the XML Editor in Inkscape
(Shift-Ctrl-X), look for an svg:flowRoot element within the first layer, and
delete it.
