Ways to skin a wiki

You 'd think there'd be more than one way to do this - and that many of them would be easy. Not, sadly, the case. Couldn't get a workable skin on usemodwiki or mediawiki, and wasn't quite getting anywhere with tikiwiki as the whole Smarty thing was definitely *not* the answer.

PmWiki, however, looks like it might be the biz - skinnable by editing templates, and it can have a range of authorisation options from completely open, through various levels of protection all the way to LDAP....

And another wiki

TikiWiki this time - again installed on a remote site.

[Thinks - must put directions to all these wikis and blogs somewhere on the home machines]

Wikis

Fairly busy evening - never mind the small amount of torchie stuff, I now have MediaWiki and UseModWiki installed on Miles (the machine in the living room) and I've had a bit of a play with stylesheets on the latter.

Both wikis work kinda-sorta okay with XAMPP, but USeModWiki would be happier if it had access to some *nix commands like diff and sendmail....

Whew... at last

What a day. Cascades of Stuff Going Wrong™.... Still, finally got this beast sorted in time to not get any actual template stuff done.
