True, but it certainly isn't so bad that it merits an explosion of
profanity from someone who hasn't asked for help.

Agree.

I agree completely.

I know this has been discussed (beaten to death, possibly) in the
past.  

Helge previously posted this requirement list
-----------------------------------------------
Just to restate some of the requirements I mentioned:
a) it should be possible to preserve the current page layout, not
    necessarily 1:1, but it should be close
b) only accounts should be allowed to edit pages
c) it should scale sufficiently well (millions of hits!),
    maybe this could be solved with Squid or something
d) it should have something like user home pages like on docs

Optional:
e) it would be good if it would allow something like folders for
    organizing stuff (yes, I know this isn't necessarily Wiki)
f) a change review process would be great
g) protecting certain pages for modifications would be nice
h) ability to use HTML for content would be nice
------------------------------------------------------

There are some extremely popular CMSs floating about such as Drupal that
seem like they would work for me;  lots of people are familiar with both
administrating and *USING* them.  It seems like most of them (at least
Drupal, with which I am most familiar) meats to some degree most of the
above;  I don't most provide "e".

Note that I'm not advocating or promoting Drupal; just tossing in my two
cents about what I am familiar with.  I'd love for OGo to make a more
complete and sophisticated website.

Looking into the history of this list it looks like someone was working
on TWiki?  Are they ("Mario") still here?

Ok. :)
