I reviewed the "bad history" and it appears to have been one major
incident and a project which was not prepared to handle it.  They appear
to have made some effort to fix the problem and I have no real concerns
in hosting it.

Does not look more extensible in this comparison:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/compare/KWikiKWiki+TWiki

But I'll take a look at it.  Twiki is pretty large and we may want
something which is easier to customize than something with every bell
and whistle already attached.

I have not made any effort yet to compare all the perl wikis which are
documented on wikimatrix.  I did the python ones a month ago because
there were only about 6 of them.  For perl there are 16, iirc, so it's a
lot more work.  However, since qpsmtpd is perl, we really should favour
that a bit.
