OK, I believe this is the "challenge field" bug that I fixed a couple
of hours ago (http://wush.net/trac/wikka/ticket/1043).  This is
something of a showstopper, so I'll be posting RC2 very soon that
addresses this (as well as a few other additional issues).

If you are able, you can export the current 1.3.1 branch and test:

svn export https://wush.net/svn/wikka/branches/1.3.1 <your-wikka-dir>/

Or you can apply the changes yourself:

http://wush.net/trac/wikka/changeset/1771
http://wush.net/trac/wikka/changeset/1772

Everyone: Keep in mind these are BETA releases, so please don't
install these in a production environment!
