Un-Wiki? In it's origions as Twiki it considerably predates the Wikimedia Foundation, let alone Media Wiki. Hierarchy and Structure have allways been features of some wiki's, that hardly makes them "un- wiki". It's unfortunate that the perception of Wikis these days seems to flow just from what Mediawiki has done, because it really doesn't reflect how wiki's have historically been developed and used. I've used Foswiki for game documentation both professionally and personally... AndrewC _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
