Easy!Appointments vs Wiki.js: at a glance
What is Easy!Appointments?
Easy!Appointments makes CalDAV sync failures explain themselves.
Easy!Appointments ships slowly through alpha and beta pre-releases. The 1.6.0 cycle added Jitsi meeting links for appointments booked on the public page, a meeting-link field, and a dedicated Google Calendar integration section. The 1.6.1 pre-releases tighten input validation and make CalDAV sync usable on local networks, with failures explained on the calendar page.
What is Wiki.js?
Wiki.js 3 beta.639 adds a glossary that auto-links terms across pages.
Wiki.js 3 is still labelled beta and not for production, while v2.x gets only security patches. The v3 betas have stacked up enterprise identity (Entra, LDAP, SAML, SCIM), Excalidraw with live collaboration, blog pages, a v2 import path, notifications, RTL, annotations and a redesigned Talk view. beta.639 adds a glossary with auto-linking, a block-links-grid content block, child listings on folder pages, and hex-encoded ltree paths so non-Latin page paths work.

Easy!Appointments makes CalDAV sync failures explain themselves.
◆ Current state
Easy!Appointments ships slowly through alpha and beta pre-releases. The 1.6.0 cycle added Jitsi meeting links for appointments booked on the public page, a meeting-link field, and a dedicated Google Calendar integration section. The 1.6.1 pre-releases tighten input validation and make CalDAV sync usable on local networks, with failures explained on the calendar page.
◆ Where it's heading
The scheduler is building out integrations (Google Calendar, CalDAV, Jitsi) and then hardening them so self-hosters can diagnose problems without reading logs. Cadence is slow, with months between pre-releases, and the 1.6.0 notes are repeated across three cuts.
◆ Prediction
A 1.6.1 stable release with the CalDAV and validation work is the likely next step; the entries don't show new integrations queued behind it.

Wiki.js 3 beta.639 adds a glossary that auto-links terms across pages.
◆ Current state
Wiki.js 3 is still labelled beta and not for production, while v2.x gets only security patches. The v3 betas have stacked up enterprise identity (Entra, LDAP, SAML, SCIM), Excalidraw with live collaboration, blog pages, a v2 import path, notifications, RTL, annotations and a redesigned Talk view. beta.639 adds a glossary with auto-linking, a block-links-grid content block, child listings on folder pages, and hex-encoded ltree paths so non-Latin page paths work.
◆ Where it's heading
The big platform pieces are in; recent betas fill in knowledge-structuring features (glossary, folder listings, link grids) and internationalization fixes. The steady ~weekly cadence from a single maintainer keeps adding surface rather than freezing scope, which pushes a stable 3.0 further out.
◆ Prediction
Expect the work-in-progress glossary and the new library menu to be finished in the next one or two betas. The entries still give no date for a release candidate.
