true.  I checked out their work.  It is well done.  Note that they use a
completely different set of shortcuts than the other wikis I have seen;
although no two wiki implementation ever seems to have the same shortcut set
(there is not wiki shortcut RFC :-), nonetheless, theirs appears the most
totally different.  But shortcuts are easy to remember ... I wonder now if
we should not propose a unified wiki shortcut standard ...  so that wiki
pages can be interchangeable.

one step forward, 2 new items for the todo list :-)

Note that my wiki variant implements latex math and online quizzes which I
would still like to have (co-residing with phpwiki or any other wiki system)
on seul so that we can all work on math lessons and quizzes for the K12
curriculum

Are we going to see a thousand wiki variants flourish? each implementing a
set of shortcuts favored by its authors/userbase?
