Hopefully has nothing to do with your own (?) heritage does it? >>;->

I believe it is in PERL with a stated vision of rewriting in Python.

I believe it does, if this is what you mean if you click for example at the 
home page's upper right "(last change)" link:
http://www.owiki.org/twiki/bin/rdiff/Openwiki/WhatIsOWiki?rev2=last
- you get the changes with, at bottom, a rev history and diffs options. When 
editing a manual very helpful, provided we record the rev from which the manual 
was last taken, correct?

Speaking to Karsten's affection for easy offline doc access, this aspect of 
owiki looked good too (at least for reading not writing... the offline 
contributor "wannabe" may have to write raw code revisions and paste them in 
when next able to connect)
