I would like to note that customizing a wiki to the point that it's a web application will likely be more effort than integrating a wiki into a standalone web application. If the site is going to be replaced with a wiki, then it would be appropriate to append all of the current "website design requirements" to the essential list of wiki requirements? _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
