Swiki has not moved apace with Zope development. The Wiki we are using /
developing was originally based on swiki, but we've added a proper object
model, so that you can access and change the data structures (wiki pages)
more flexibly.

It's got the features above, but also with "page (object) types" so you can
create different flavours of pages.

Alain - I'll send you the old client... not sure it will be worth it as it
was developed as the guy from blogger first proposed the Xml-RPC interface
which I think will have moved on quite a way since then...
