Well, yes, of course the wiki is especially strong for heavily
hyperlinked pages - in my case it had to end up as a printed paper, so I
could not make much use of that strength. I especially like the way the
wiki adjusts when you change the name of a linked page. I used ZWiki in
Plone, BTW.
Hmm, is this drifting to far OT?
