I too am not thrilled with many of the details of Twiki. However,
it's been around for years; appears to be quite stable; has many
users; has been deployed commercially on multiple sites; is nicely
extensible in perl; is small; has had lots of de facto usability
testing; etc.

Your wiki shows off some of what svn can do but Twiki not only has
rev ctl features, it also has forms entry, fancy queries, fancy
indexing, rudimentary topic renaming, etc.

Damn straight.

I like the idea of a suite of web-based pda apps. Your calendar,
grocery list, contacts db, etc -- all on wiki-based web pages,
viewable and edittable with a browser. (Twiki has a calendar app, if
I recall correctly.)

Fancier clients could keep their own working copy and handle detached
updates. Twiki is tiny enough that clients can run a copy locally.

The whole thing could be commoditized, sort of like google-boxes.

Is there anything in the issue db that's critical for _this_
application?
