Thanks for the tip, Bruno. I've downloaded Zope and I plan 
to check it out next week. One question. Can the wiki in 
Zope handle html or math notation via Hevea or anything 
like that? The tclkit wiki is great for text and links, 
but (complex) math expressions would be problematic to put 
directly into the page. The tclkit wiki has its own special 
markup for fonts and links and as far as I can tell does 
not use html markup directly.

The WIMS message boards handle math notation, html, even tex 
and latex markup very nicely but I have avoided opening up a 
public math message board because of the headaches it might 
involve. A public message board in WIMS would be a close 
alternative to a wiki - that's something I haven't thought 
about until I got involved with tclkit.

The advantage to the tclkit wiki, I guess, is that it is so 
small and doesn't require installation of anything else like 
Zope or WIMS.
