Great to see you back. I installed and played with CGI::Kwiki. The main problem I have with this module/application is that users need to learn the wiki "language". (For example, to make a the H4 tag, you must put 4 = before and after the word(s).) The benefit of the content manager I use is that it uses HTML and thus it has no learning curve in this respect. May I ask what you found to be difficult? Perhaps the the explanation I sent to Glenn would help: 1. login by clicking on the "Login" link on any page to the top right corner. 2. When you have successfully logged in, you will see your user name to the top right, just after "User:". 3. Now, click on the "Turn Admin On!" link, just above the printer icon. 4. You will see 3 dropdown boxes at the top of the (every) page; this is what is called, the admin bar. 5. Navigate to the package/page you wish to edit. For example, http://jeb.ca/perl/win32-gui-docs/index.pl/win32-gui-acceleratortable is the Win32::GUI::AcceleratorTable package. 6. There you will see, below the crumbtrail and to the right of the main nav, a series of image buttons, which are your editing functions for the page. Aside: From the software's point of view, every page is comprised of 2 objects: the page and an article(s). The first row of images is for editing the page itself, i.e. head and body. You do NOT need to do ANY editing there. The second row of images is for editing the article. This is where you want to be. 7. Click the "Edit" button/image. You will be presented with 4 "tabs"; it is the "Wobject Properties" you want to be on. 8. You do all editing of the article in the "Description" textfield. NB: If there are more than one articles, then there will be > 2 rows of images (tools). For example, the F.A.Q. page has different articles (or wobjects) for each question/answer set. Aldo, I really do believe this should help, otherwise it would be a bit cumbersome to completly move away from this and transfer over to CGI::Kwiki. But, like I said in an earlier post, if people really don't like it, then I guess I could switch over to CGI::Kwiki. -- Erick
