Small text, for a start! It shouldn't consume too much room in every row. 2) For each egg, a link to "http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4//discussion" or some such, to encourage user feedback, feature requests, etc. That seems like a good idea, but we've had discussion pages for the entire duration of our svnwiki use, and to my knowledge nobody ever used them. Because of that I didn't build discussion pages into qwiki, since it would be just another unused feature I'd have to maintain. Does it need special wiki software support? I thought it'd just be another page with a name generated from the egg-page name, and one that people should feel more confident about adding questions, requests, and so on to than the egg page itself. Where's the tool that generates this page live, anyway? I'd guess somewhere under chicken-eggs/maintenance, but I can't find it.

I have removed that option, TinyCLOS 1.8.3 should be available now. I strongly recommend to use COOPS. TinyCLOS is obsolete and should not be used. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users

I agree with that - any input on the discussion pages is likely not to be noticed or quickly forgotten. cheers, felix ___ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
