Point taken... But the fact remains, that you ARE busy with a wiki and a web management system. (And not a 70mb MS Word / Frontpage application) In most of these when you ask:"How can I <insert really interesting and complex thing> in <name your system>", they'll tell you... You can't... Here they say:"Oh, just have a look at <nameofplugin>", or "We haven't tried that! Sounds like a challenge!". So at this stage you're asking: "How can I make it easy (yet customizable) for people with no web skills, to do really advanced stuff that most content management systems can't do" And I'm answering "You can't, but it's actually already halfway there"... but guess what... some of these other guys are saying "We have tried that, and it remains a challenge!" (They've not given up!) This *easy* extensibility is exactly why I've asked in a previous thread for a "fully fledged" tiddly wiki (with page revisions, and a true multi-user environment). It's simply better and easier than any other stuff out there (including Joomla).
