IIRC. but it may be over-kill too. i checked out what was, i believe, "plone" last week. i don't remember seeing plone on the opencma list. (still chewing it over with my fellow writers. unfortunately, none is a techno-geek.) i believe you that dokuwiki was easy to set up. how easy is/was it to *use*, tho? ---I'm following the gimp tutorial, but still cannot get anything to work. so if there are docs for this wiki software, they've got to be fairly well tested. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
