Well yeah, would be fun if that happens :P

It has been worth the effort for me ... I am a sysad in our
department, and we would like to provide wiki's to anyone who wants
one ... personal one's, small projects, cross-department projects ...
that's the reason I actually started doing it in the first place. I
want exactly one copy of the wiki code which I could fix and upgrade
when necessary.

I am not sure what you mean by symlinking ... do you mean to say I
create wiki folders in multiple paths, but symlink to the common
resources like the "inc" directory? Now that is really messy.

Sameer.
