student work were highly customized, with a form that replaced the normal edit for
those pages. The form allows for easy selecting of images uploaded and adding
comments to
those images. I have some sense that a major class of pages can be edited, by
changing a template, but I'm not sure how the edit button had this different
functionality on these special pages and regular functionality elsewhere on the site.

I'm studying for quals, so I'll be a bit brief. Check out the
survey*.page templates and http://seaweed.cc.gatech.edu/refs/10.

ng a new Swiki. It doesn't seem possible to run multiple instances of the ComSwiki
server (serving on different ports) from within the same instance of Squeak, since I
don't know how to change what directory the Comanche looks to to serve up the various
Swikis. Is it possible to run multiple instances of Squeak, and have a Comanche
running within each of those (serving on different ports)?
It is fairly easy to change. Just add a class method in SwikiModule
similar to swikiWebServer and use ComSwikiLauncher openAsMorphPackage:
#secondSwikiWebServer.
You can run two images. I'd recommend that.
Peace and Luck!
