@Wash, :-) Just to make a correction, the wiki's not for commercial use but I also don't want to be forced to use someone else's code, whether free or not. I can understand commercially the use of quick turn around solutions which makes sense to beat client deadlines or not enough time to create, but this thing am working on must not have a single line of creative "copyright or acknowledgements/redistributions/author names" code to it. Meaning I can do it on any language, as long as it its complies with local creativity/creation. Think of yourself as a photographer. What image you take is unique to you and your camera. And everyone takes pictures so there would be no need to have new cameras and models, but everyone still wants to own their own camera too and take pictures. Am just applying the same concept that all the wikis exist and are free, mine will have its own stamp on it whether different or not. So when I frame the picture ( wiki-building towards kplc web app ), I can reflect back on some self achievement of building from scratch. I can imagine the day when someone out there will use the code, they will have to comply with this acknowledgement : "This code was created in non other than the 3rd world. You must be pretty stupid and screwed up to use this code. But thank you for giving the copyright acknowledgement. We are proud of the small achievements too " And your are very right, not only is time my enemy but also the difficulty too. Am already into Feb and still not quite progressed on the KPLC web app, but will not give up until its published online. That is already been decided. We must soldier on.... :-) Rgds.

Still on the same topic and the struggle continues. I did more research and cannot believe 18 years later since the first wiki was created, am at a handicap of either a generation or knowledge gap. I've totally refused to RE and still working creating my very own wiki but no solid break through as yet. Does any face such problems or am I just making it difficult for myself? The wiki battle continues....
Aki,
Do you still want to retain the lie that you have limited time to achieve your objectives? Ok, I am asking this because I remember you saying you don't have enough time in your hands, but here you are, trying to create your own Wiki:-)
What is it that you see yourself doing differently in this Wiki than what the other Wikis do?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines http://www.screwturn.eu/
From those sites, I saw a couple that are free, and can run on Windows, but maybe I misunderstood you completely this time, because I still don't understand what you want to do and why.
