Thanks Erlend for the kind appraisal, and I look forward to getting acquainted with you and working together to stretch BoltWire even further. It has a come a long way, but it still has a few bugs and imperfections. The key though is that it is built on a few radical core ideas that in the long run make a major difference. Mostly the concepts of wiki editable actions, but several other things as well.
We have a couple more big revisions to work on over the next few months. First, a better way to solve some pesky line spacing problems, and second, some changes to how the form processor executes commands. But we'll get these done eventually. I am currently using BoltWire to run a fairly complicated online school, and am very pleased with its capabilities. Room for improvement--of course. But those few initial concepts that sparked this project ended up turning out pretty well.
