Charles, have you looked at Wiki4D today? (I changed the template last night.)

http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FrontPage

Come on now. Other that maybe the hint of .cgi in the URL, how would the average
person even know what it's written in? It's probably written in Perl because the
earliest wikis were written in Perl. If this really matters to you, Helmut has
mentioned that he's thought about porting it to D (I don't remember if he still
plans to do that).

As to the navigation issue, that's probably my fault since I've created many of
the pages and always end up putting random links everywhere. We probably need to
rename a bunch of the pages or reorganize the content. But that's not ProWiki's
fault.
