Beep beep. I, for example, hate the verbosity of html, but i use it nevertheless. The popularity of Wikipedia made Media-Wiki syntax the de-facto standard. It's not perfect, but please don't reinvent the wheel (even though it's a PHP wheel).
It's funny - i was the first one who proposed the wiki idea and i didn't think that it will go so far (1000$$$????). If you ask me, this wiki should be done ASAP in Media-Wiki. Reusing current Perl wikis (Australian, whatever) is even better. Perl6 currently needs documentation, community and advocacy - not a Yet Another Content Management System written in itself. It is unlikely that it will become Perl6's killer app with such a strong competition. As for CamelCase - it's long dead. Now, writing a Perl6 app to find and exterminate [[random links]] would be neat (although it would probably be a one-liner). On 5/28/06, A. Pagaltzis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

However, I do like how it seems to gently guide people into picking NounsAsPageNames, whereas random contributors tend [[to make really stupid]] choices when given free-form links only. Good tools (page renaming etc.) can help steer against that, but CamelCaseLinking makes it less necessary to take corrective action in the first place. However, it's also just plain damn ugly. :-/ Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
