Sounds good.  I think we will have the best chance of success if we
keep it real simple.  I don't want this to turn into a propaganda war
about using everyone's favorite tool.  I just want to write down a
database schema that mimics the organization of the existing wiki
page, put a thin web interface around it, and call it a day.  It will
take longer to analyze whether some other tool is sufficiently close
to that than it will to write a tool that is exactly that.
