Hi Peter and all,

Indeed incredibly quiet on the Wiki front. As I was relocated
for one year in sunny Côte d'Azur, so no work on my "clone", I
wonder how I'll find it back after one year without support.
Broken ? Still running without contribs ? Booming ?

Anyway, to add to Peter's answer, yes, wiki is usually only a
part of a "conventional" website. You obviously need to have
Perl somewhere and refer to it in the first line of the script.

If you want to use the automatic "backup" using RCS, it will
take longer. And even a bit longer if you want to get direct
access to the "old versions".

About links, yes you can easily code "outbound" links in wiki
by typing "http://somewhere". Inbound links would be in the form
of "http://host.domain.com/cgi-bin/view/wikiname/wikitopic".
But your mileage may vary a bit.

Enjoy Wiki.
Kind regards.

Christophe.

PS. This address (@etsi.fr) will cease working soon. Please reply
