ZWiki is a native Zope "product" just as Plone is a Zope product. But by design the whole this is "object-oriented" and so Plone has the ability to treat ZWiki pages as Plone objects. >> >> I believe that updating the portal alone to a newer version of Plone >> should do the trick of getting html-pages.

As far as I know what Waldek is running is based on the same virtual machine that both Ralf and I are running. This was the version of AxiomWiki that was last running at the University of Washington. By "obsolete system" are you referring to the version of Ubuntu? The wiki VM was running Ubuntu 9-something and although this version of now really old I never much worried about this since is was "only a VM". Having this old VM accessible only behind an Apache proxy running on an up to date current version of Linux seemed like more than adequate protection from the hostile Internet to me. There were a few spam issues - especially on the Plone side and in spite of requiring Plone users to register. But it never got to be that irritating to me. > Concerning collection of axiom papers: it is available now. > See: > > http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/public/refs/articles.html > > This page is rather crude but it should contain links to all > papers which were on the portal. > > I must admit that I do not understand rationale for having > separate wiki and portal.

Really it was an attempt to try to get them to assume "ownership" for some part ot the content by offering them more control over who to see their work. Plone has a more structured "publishing" type of workflow in contrast to the free wheeling style of the wiki.
