There was a version of Zwiki for Zope 3 by Stefan Richter. You can read more about it here. http://longrun.zwiki.org/zwiki.org/ZwikiForZope3 The source is here. http://svn.zope.org/zwiki/trunk/ I took a look at the source. It has wikis and wiki pages, and three types of text formatting. Wikis and pages can be added TTW. Hyperlinks are done correclty. And it had some understanding of the hierarchy of a wiki, even if all the pages are int he same folder. Interesting code. It is about 5 years old. I tried installing it, but did not run right away. There is also a version here: https://github.com/do3cc/zope/tree/master/zwiki/trunk/src/zwiki Also 5 years since it was last updated. A lot of the python sites use moinmoin. Python.org, ztfy.org, maybe ubuntu and a few others. MoinMoin is all written in python. I have to say I am not happy with moinmoin. To configure moinmoin I have to edit python files on the file system. With ZWiki, I just added the product, and then used the web interface to add another wiki. WAY WAY easier. Particularly figuring out how to run a wiki farm, with multiple wikis was much easier TTW on Zope 2 than with moinmoin on the file system. For one thing I did not have to keep stopping and restarting Zope 2. But a bigger issue is that moinmoin is just a wiki. There is a single content type, wiki. When I recently put up a memorial web page for my deceased mother, in moinmoin the text all came up very fast, but just not the right environment for putting up photos. Plus after an hour I could not figure out how to indent paragraphs. Let alone other appearance changes. Zope 2 and ZWiki would have allowed me to do all 3, a wiki and a photo page, and indent paragraphs, but sadly they are both going away. Sorry if that does not answer your question, but I hope that it helps. Regards Chris
