 =46rom my understanding of the wikipedia deletion policy draft (it is =20=

a draft not a real policy yet),

"Software applications are products, and fall under =20
Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations). This page gives =20
rough guidelines which Wikipedia editors use to decide if certain =20
software applications should have an article on Wikipedia."

Frankly speaking, even I myself don't think Kwiki is a product..^^

However, SocialText is company, which implies SocialText wiki is a =20
product. In fact, all the pages of wikisystems developed by =20
commercial companies are kept on wikipedia, but other (open source/=20
free) wikisystems are not so lucky. Kwiki is not the only one.
