THE Solution to this (capital S) is to split the wiki into its individual entries, to be tagged in various ways and assembled as-needed. Unfortunatley this requires the wiki engine to be extended to support metadata. There are a few threads going on in the MoinMoin dev community on how to achieve this, but at this time there's nothing relly useful in terms of code. I can try to come up with something which could at least solve our problem (a first attempt was the ForEach macro, which however has issues of its own) -- /kinkie
