I just compared SmallWiki vs. Scribo page adding:

	SmallWiki: *New Page*
	Scribo:    [New Page]

or explicit Urls:

	SmallWiki: *New Page>NewPage*
	Scribo:    [New Page>NewPage]

or external Urls:

	SmallWiki: *External>http://www.external.org*
	Scribo:    [External>http://www.external.org]

As you can see, actually the same way, and even that can be adjusted in 
Scribo to be exactly the same.

SmallWiki has a separate Contents page, where you can also add and 
remove pages. This is missing in Scribo right now, but it will be there 
soon.

SmallWiki has also an explicit hierarchy (with special pages called 
Folders) while Scribo intentionally don't have explicit page hierarchy. 
But you can implicitly set page hierarchy in explicit URl: 
[Installation>/Documentation/Installation]. It is true that we need to 
support automatic creation of hierarchical subpages better. I'm just 
working on that.

About adding other resources: Scribo has a full and really powerful 
image adding support in rich text editor. It is two step process: first 
you upload image, second you simply drag that image in the content on 
the place where you want. It can't be simpler than that.

I'll also soon switch on uploading any attachment to the page, like PDFs 
etc.
