+1. I don't understand the *not-invented-here* sindrome. Sure it would be cool if the wiki was web2py powered, but just now I've tried to reset my wiki.web2py password and nothing happened (no email sent). Trying to re-register complains about the email already in use (of course). Had to create another gmail account :S Why go through all this effort when there are so many great wiki engines?
