I don't have an opinion on languages, but your following sentence isn't recognizing the goals of the requirements. The wiki component must be a well-behaved component in a larger application. MediaWiki is not designed to be a well-behaved component--it is designed to be a site. Projects have fallen mightily trying to make it otherwise... - Stephen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
