Incidentally, I suspect this is where CGI::Wiki could fit in the backend: http://www.twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/StoreDotPm
I guess the next thing to do would be to work out how to implement the other parts of TWiki. This, BTW, gives an overview of TWiki's subsystems: http://www.twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/CodevDocumentationProject
Ideally the componentisation would allow the Formatter + Plugins to also fit in as a module to the PostNuke framework
Cheers, Martin.
