The wiki view option should now display ijs and ijt files. We can add other file types if need be. I don't know how to improve the wiki upload interface and suspect that you will have to rely on file differencing tools and the recent changes page. However, I would encourage you to use the subversion server for collaborative projects, and then have the wiki point to the subversion files. For example, the trace project could go in the public repository. The page http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Interfaces/R/batch has an example. We probably need to document and organize this better. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
