This particular wiki (phpwiki) is terribly broken with respect to user registration. If you would take a look at the page history of the aforementioned page, I had initially formatted the whole page in wiki style. The weird thing is that I had specifically registered with my user name SandipBhattacharya while reformatting, and my username was visible as logged in while i was editing the page. However on submission, it seemed that i was logged only using my IP address. Apart from this there are several formatting bugs that appeared while i was reformatting in phpwiki's wiki style.Take a look at the answer of the question "What are the advantages of Linux". If the second line of the answer starts with a bullet list, the first line gets formatted like a definition list or title or something. While this PHPwiki would do for collecting of content, I would personally favour a more stable wiki for LI - like twiki or moinmoin.And we would be copying content manually. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.
