Groovin' on a Zwiki I've known at least vaguely about Wiki Web stuff for quite some time. Ward Cunningham, one of the guiding lights behind Wikis and the author of the book, "The Wiki Way," has been a Smalltalk colleague for years. But not until I got my hands on a Zwiki and began digging into it did I grok how really cool and important this stuff is. Combining a Wiki approach to Web creation and maintenance with the immense power of the Zope content management framework is so potent. I know that on some level at least this kind of power is available through Manila and EditThisPage stuff but I think the user interface and the ease of access to the Zope "stuff" combined with my comfort level with Zope and Python have converged to make me really groove on Zwiki. I am now making my personal site Zwiki-aware. Then I'm going to experiment with moving some or all of my site over toa Zwiki model. Stay tuned. 10:43:20 AM    Add your viewpoint [ comments so far]
