I am using TWiki because it was easy to set up and powerful for what it is, but my goal is to make a J2EE wiki that I like, using what is in DevWiki and QWiki and CHiki as a starting point. I will probably try to make a wiki that has the functionality of TWiki but in J2EE with a decoupled persistence mechanism. Perl, bleccccchhhhh...
