Just for the record I will say that I prefer a wiki for discussion to email. I like being able to refactor and cross reference for other people and to use pages to build consensus of opinion. And that's without cluttering my mailbox.
I do recognise that this only works well on TWiki because that retains page histories - am I right in thinking that this is not the case for CGI::Wiki?
CGI::Wiki has history. Wikis just don't work unless they have history. For a time, one of my biggest issues with Kwiki was that it didn't, though they solved this issue eventually. You're still not quite making sense, though. CGI::Wiki has page history, but not in a user-accessible way, because you can't do _anything_ to CGI::Wiki except through a specific front-end. Talk about openguides, or CGI::Wiki::Kwiki, or CGI::Wiki::Simple, or something, if you have specific questions. -- .tom
Right - I get you now. Because CGI::Wiki is a backend, it has no UI. That is left to whatever front end I use. Thanks for the clarification.
