[snip] I also suggested some changes without much result. However, I am in contact with a TWiki developer (Andrea Sterbini) who has written some fancy stuff (like the plugin module). So I definitively branch out from TWiki. I needed a working wiki to experiment with (for instance, to have an idea of what a LaTeX pluging could be implemented) and I tried not to touch the code too much. After having decided that the wiki solution was what I was looking for (teaching math and physics, producing scientific documentation), I realized that it would be not easy to convince the TWiki people. So, when have free time I continue hacking the twiki code. Clearly, it would be very nice to start over from scratch, but I don't think to have enough time in the near future. If anybody is interested, Andrea Sterbini and myself wrote a paper about web and teaching using TWiki, and I could share my ideas about a tt-based wiki. -- Franco Bagnoli (franchino) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dipartimento di Matematica Applicata "G.
