Yup. But none of that bothers me. I started SubWiki for many reasons, and
a big chunk of that was to toss the crap code that most Wikis are and begin
from scratch. I really don't care that SubWiki is currently less featureful.
If somebody else wants to gut Twiki and insert SVN... more power to 'em. No
skin off my back.

Go ahead, Tom...
