[Pdx-pm] TWiki as substitute for kwiki?

[benh]

well... why not have a svn driven flat text system? I havent dug with
the back end of any wiki so I dont know if the tend to be flat files
or some DB (well it sounds like MW is mysql). Though then this make me
just think that we could just svn pod up and have one of the pod2html
modules run as a hook script... tada!... not purty, but conflicts
would be resolved... and you could still use vim...

* ehh * just an idea.
