parisc-linux.org started using WikiWikiWeb 4-6 monthes ago:
	http://wiki.parisc-linux.org/

But we've had to authenticate and authorize users because of spammers
abusing the open access. Yes - spam happens on wiki pages too.
Because of this, I consider Wiki a variation on CVS/Subversion
that targets webpages instead of source code. Another sort
of internet based groupware if you will.

If someone wants to poke at WikiWikiWeb on wiki.p-l.o, I can
arrange access. Please contact me off-list.

Well, that's probably a good thing. Let other folks worry about
the web page mechanics for now until the rate of code change goes down.
Whatever the web maniacs running parisc-linux.org do is fine with
me as long as I can easily modify and test web content and don't
have to learn a new system every 6 monthes.
