Ok. Thanks very much. I'm very impressed with WikkaWiki... although I 
have trouble spelling its name right... WakkaWikki WikkaWikki 
WikkaWiki.. I've got it right now.

I'm impressed by its leanness and openness... I'll investigate 
invisible mode. I've been hacking away at a website, doing stuff like 
user accounts and authentication myself that must have been done a 
million times before, and better than I have done them, so WikkaWiki is 
very attractive.

Most of the project dates seem to end in 2007. There seems to be a lull 
in development, is tht right?. I am happy its in php, though. That's 
what I've been using and all the python that seems so attractive has 
been troublesome to get working with apache.

Thanks again for your help. I'll see if I can't re-implement what I've 
got now on top of WikkaWiki.

Can you point me to some menu documentation, for a starter? :)
