Hmm, that sounds like wiki research. Which I'll leave to others. The parrot development wiki simply uses off-the-shelf wiki technology. Specifically, it is a TWiki, http://twiki.org/ , with only minor mods. And the parrot related hacks are all isolated in a plugin. A primary objective was to keep the wiki itself off-the-shelf, and low maintenance. Sorry, Mitchell Briefly going off topic, and emphasizing that this has nothing to do with the parrot wiki (after all, it's been over 4 lines since I last mentioned it:), wiki tech could certainly be improved. Though there seems to be something of a sweet spot. The utility of alternatives is commonly explored and demonstrated by experimental wiki implementations. Often these are patched versions of existing wikis, such as UseModWiki. If you are interested, MeatballWiki http://usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl might be a place to start.
