As a reader, it works like a website: text, URLs, pictures. I'm not
far into the learning curve, but it looks like a very simple HTML
dialect -- bold, underline, italic, and auto-recognition of HTTP://.
Wiki adds to this one special widget: [phoo-bhar] -- this, when 
clicked, takes the reader to the 'phoo-bhar' wiki page. Simple

To learn how to write wiki pages is easy (I figured it out in
around an hour, and I spent a lot of time reading the docs).

Look at http://kwiki.llamacard.org/. These are the links:

LlamaWiki ------> the default wiki page
RecentChanges --> last-entry first list of changed files
Preferences ----> Lets you tell (k)wiki what your name is
Search window

LlamaCard ------> link to http://llamacard.org. It's empty now, but when 
                  we start authoring content / borrowing wiki pages, it'll
                  be interesting to read.

KwikiHelpIndex -> the kwiki help index... I spent time reading
through this, and picked up the rudimentary basics. It's really easy,
even if you're not an author of scary CPAN modules (i.e. Ingy).

Hope this helps.
