The new SCM I (and others) are working on will allow you to quickly and easily download the entire source code/wiki/ticket repository and/or synchronize your local repository with remote changes. So ultimately this will not be an issue. But all that is still in the future. Perhaps you can suggest minor changes or enhancements to CVSTrac (http://www.cvstrac.org/) that will allow use to do something similar with the wiki right away - some way to download the whole wiki collection and run it locally. CVSTrac already includes its own web server, so that part is done for you already. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
