Honesty compels me to admit that part of why I am trying blogging isthat I coded a bunch of blog features into DWiki , my wiki-thing, and Iwould feel kind of stupid if they never got used. (The blogdir codehas a clear usage case, but the blog code does not quite so much.)

But that's not all of it. Web pages cry out for a linking structure,an organization, a taxonomy, just like we are supposed to sensiblyorganize directories on our computers

DWiki is the software that runs CSpace , including this blog . It'swound up much bigger than I expected and wanted it to be. This is sortof the story of how (or why) that happened.

DWiki started out with a simple goal: serve up (revision controlled)wiki-text documentation as HTML pages. It didn't have to edit thepages; we'd do that in a real editor in a real environment. The coreprogram model was simple: pages would be generated
