ApfelWiki.de
Attach:ApfelWikiSShot.png Δ Apfelwiki is a german project trying to build up a reference about working with Apple Computer like a large FAQ. The only way to let the user create their own pages was a wiki. But we won't have the same "old fashioned" wiki-look. So we decided to take pmwiki. It's a powerful wiki and with css we made a modern layout. Last but not least pmwiki is very easy to handle.

AzRepeaters.Net: Arizona Repeaters on 6, 2 , & 1.25 Meters 70, 33, & 23 Centimeters Bands (http://www.azrepeaters.net)
In 2004, my brother Tom passed away in a tragic accident. His legacy included a sited dedicated to helping Hams in Arizona find repeaters in the state.
This is important as it is used by the Red Cross and other emergency agencies to help assist people in need.
Not being a Ham myself, I was faced with the daunting task of how to keep it going and allowing experts to keep the site up to date. The answer for me was found at a Northern Texas Linux Users Group meeting where Patrick Michaud talked about this great Wiki project he was heading up. I knew I had found the solution to keeping my brother's dream alive.
With the advanced tables function and some sed and grep scripts, I was able to quickly convert much of my brother's site over a weekend. It went live just before Labor Day 2005. I still have more work to do, but now, Arizona Hams and other Hams have the ability to keep the site up to date instantly.
Now I have many Hams who keep the site up for me without my having to directly make the edits myself as I did before I went Wiki. Apparently, according to one of my editors, he has become a celeb in the Ham community. And it is so easy for him to make edits too!

Bendigo Gliding Club (http://www.bendigogliding.org.au)
Bendigo Gliding Club is a small community based gliding club in Victoria, Australia. Most of the club members are tech savvy spending all manner of time paying with fancy flying electronics and flight loggers, however HTML, Javascript and web editing is a very different technical domain! PmWiki was the ideal solution for the club. It offered simple editing, version control and the ability to implement a password protected “members only” section. The key to PmWiki’s success is its separation of simplicity and power – that is power to the administrator and simplicity for the content authors. The administrators (the ones needing the power) are the tech guys at PaperCut Software who were kind enough to donate their server resources and time, and the authors are the “simpler” guys at the gliding club.
BetGizmo? for Betfair (http://www.betgizmo.com)

It is aimed at customers interested in getting a reading as well as people who wish to study the art and seek instructions. There is a list of services and a collection of my texts on tarot and divination. The site uses a slightly customized Not so simple skin?.
I'm using a wiki because I want to be able to easily update the site from everywhere. I selected PmWiki for it's great maintainability, it's small footprint and because it's really easy to customize. It was a breeze to set up all the features I want on the site. Thank you, Pm, for your work and thank you everyone for your contributions!
binaervarianz Kletterwiki http://klettern.binaervarianz.de
This german wiki focuses on sports- and mountain-climbing and adresses beginners as well as anyone interested in climbing at all. It lists and reviews climbing spots and halls in Germany and offers a place to meet and share experiences.
We used a wiki in general to be able to make adjustments to the pages even "on the road" from every computer without much effort or even html-knowledge. Also, as an open wiki, everybody should be able to add content to the site without worrying about how to do so. PMWiki? was a slim and elegant way to get this, and we used it before as part of our main page http://www.binaervarianz.de.

Corpus Christi Downtown Management District
The Downtown Management District is a non-profit organization aimed at improving the quality of life in the downtown Corpus Christi. This site, after only 2 days, has generated a lot of enthusiatic support including an article in the city's newspaper. It addressed several issues that has hampered the growth of downtown including communication among members of the comunity and the DMD, housing and quality of life issues, arts, history and tourist information, as well as a voice for direction. We feel that the site is so well tailored to PmWiki and they agree!

Within one day of the site going live, the President of the organization was making significant changes to the site. PmWiki wins again!Corpus Christi's Kite Boarding Scene
(Corpus Christi Kite Boarding Site) - This site was originally started as a strictly PmWiki site. After some development, we are incorporating other PHP scripts, and future custom apps, to make this site a truly community oriented environment. Using the Calendar from the Cookbook is great allowing all members to post upcoming events. Wiki works well for this site, especially since in the future, it will be a user maintained site.

Corpus Christi Linux Users Group (http://www.cclug.org)
PmImg:2003/cclug-1.gif
Prior to using PmWiki, the CCLUG web site was frequently out of date and difficult to update. All changes to the site had to be coordinated through the organization's webmaster, who was responsible for linking in new content and web pages (on a volunteer basis, of course). But with PmWiki, now all of CCLUG's members can participate in building the site! Visitors to the site can quickly find what's new via the site's RecentChanges page, and members can quickly and easily add new content. It's a whole new way for organizations to build and maintain web sites!
Corpus Christi Literary Reading Series
These clients wanted something that would allow them to have dialogue between members as well as promote future speakers. They also wanted a website that would allow them to be able to acquire more sponsors by having web page addition as part of their reportoire of marketing tactics for pursuing corporate sponsorship. Just so happened, Wiki fit the bill perfectly here too. Set them up, make sure they like the "design" of the site, get some initial information from them, then tutor them on how wiki works. Its a no lose situation, and is making web content addition for non-html'ers and even non computer people easy.

Website http://www.creationism.co.uk
When I first started this site & it was only a dozen pages long, I had no problems with traditional website construction software. However as it grew, keeping track of everything & adding new content became harder & harder. It got to a point where I was spending more time fighting with the web design program than I was developing the website.
Pm wiki has been the answer to all my problems; it is just so easy to update the site & add pages, no more messing around with complicated uploading software that is erratic, just go to the website & make the changes there & then. I have also found it to be very stable unlike the program (NOF) that I was using, which sometimes crashed or refused to do what I wanted it to do.

Website of the program of Master of applied sciences, Design & complexity, of the University of Montreal in Canada. Using PmWiki and the elegant, slightly modified SimpleTab? skin by Marian Dörk, we manage to put together a much more dynamic site than our previous one. The job of the webmestre is now more focussed on the administration of the server. The site still has to be optimized, but we are already very enthousiast about this first version.
Doctor Ducks Duck Hunting Guide Service (http://doctorducks.com)
This client wanted us to maintain and keep up to date with new information and pictures that was sent to us via snail mail on a weekly basis. We got tired of being under the time gun to get the changes he sent up and running. So, we presented him with a "site revamp" plan. Just so happened part of the "site revamp", aside from improving graphics, and content, also converted his site over to PmWiki which helped us immensely later on down the road. This client is great paying, and very demanding, and PmWiki has helped us keep the stress to a minimum, the client happy.

DST Output: Customer Systems
We've started using PmWiki to do organic documentation generation. It's been very useful in allowing a largish group of individuals to contribute to living documents. The benefit is that the live documentation is always up-to-date and no changes are ever lost, unlike email chains and word docs.

Online Dutch Grammar Course
Dutchgrammar.com is a website for people who are studying Dutch. It has a grammar reference, exercises, audio files, a Learn Dutch podcast, and a forum. I wrote the original grammar reference in English and Dutch learners have been translating the pages into their own languages. I used to receive text documents, which took me ages to process. PmWiki made everything wonderfully easy. Translators can now log in and translate the pages without my intervention. I think PmWiki is a great CMS.
The tutorial for translators can be found here

Final Score Trivia (http://finalscoreohio.com)
For 5 years, this trivia game known as "Final Score Trivia" was played in major bars in the area, sans website, when the owner decided to expand into Ohio. My wife licensed the business from him and is continuing the Maryland operations. There was an immediate need for a marketing vehicle, both to spread into the new territory as well as keep growing the current area. There was only one problem - there wasn't any web page! They called on me to produce the web page.
I considered some options, and fell on PmWiki for several reasons: first, they want the ability to make changes themselves. They're not computer-savvy, so whatever they would use, it would have to be simple to understand. I was thinking about a wiki, but there is a security issue in that we don't want regular users editing pages! Fortunately, the CMSLike? recipe, AuthUser, htaccess rewrites and some help from the users list put me straight. Total work, about 2 months to get the security just right, 3 weeks for page layout and CSS, 1 week learning the GIMP (ugh!), I'm still building the content.
I also tried different skins, Flexi, Lens, and others, before settling on PmWiki's default pmwiki skin with a medium amount of mods to get the link bars to highlight, lots of fudging to make the areas fit the graphics. The best part was when I had two laptops running to test the site - one running Fedora Core 5 / Firefox, and the other running Windows Firefox plus Internet Explorer. It took only minor tweaking (plus help from http://w3schools.com) to get it to look similar on all platforms. (You'll never get it 100% the same, no matter what you do.) I now claim to know a bit of css.
Oh yes, the Google map markup is super! Hats off to Patrick, Tegan, Hans, and numerous others for making all this possible.

HELLUG: Hellenic Linux User Group
It 's a non profit Linux User Group aiming to spread the idea of free software in Greece.
Check out the HyperCard Pantechnicon. It is not very "pretty" yet, just a slight variation on what I think is the cleanest PmWiki skin. But the scope and the organization of the Pantechnicon's knowledge base is impressive. It composed of a score of groups, it manages several related projects at once, it has thousands of pages, etc. It also features many subtle innovations like the path of the page's location in the Pantechnicon's hierarchy (tree|ontology) of wiki pages. The HyperCard Pantechnicon therefore demonstrates : easy non-confusing navigation of MANY pages, excellent organization of knowledge, the importance of merciless refactoring of the content, etc.
hypiaphoto.com HypiaPhoto Free web album. We choose PMWiki? because we found it through the search engines and it fits all of our requirements perfectly, when compared to other wiki packages.

Faculty Web Pages for Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana - Southwest
Faculty had access to web pages for over four years now, but few took advantage of this resource because of the complex nature of web site creation and management. We deployed PmWiki on the faculty server for several reasons. First, our faculty server did not have access to mySQL which many content management systems required. Second, PmWiki was easy to configure into a basic template file that could be uploaded for each account. We can create an account and upload the PmWiki in less than 5 minutes. Fourth, the ease of management made the system approachable for faculty. Fifth, faculty can create pages that are collaborative with their students or assign student responsibility to pages. Anyway you look at it, PmWiki is the perfect tool for higher education faculty.

PmWiki is a very clean codebase that is very easy to comprehend and administer. I must especially commend you for the quality and clarity of the documentation; PmWiki stands apart from almost every open source project I've used for that reason alone.
Thank you!

La Truffe Sauvage
La Truffe Sauvage is a fine dining restaurant located in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The owner originally built and updated his website using Microsoft FrontPage?. The restaurant changes its menus and wine list frequently and regularly promotes special events (Mother's Day Luncheon, Christmas Eve dinner, New Year's Eve party, etc.). The time required to update the website via a dial-up connection was excruciating. The owner was tired of dealing with FrontPage?'s limitations. After seeing the power and ease of PmWiki, he was sold. The owner is very pleased with the new site and spends far less time updating it, thanks to PmWiki. Because of the ability to easily add new pages and re-organize the website, the owner has decreased the time spent on the phone and faxing menus to customers by directing them to his website instead.

LBTS ( http://lbts.usc.es )
Low Temperature and Superconductivity Laboratory (LBTS) at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), Spain
We recently migrated to PmWiki our main website. We abandoned other authoring packages which, though commercial and widely used, did not provide us the trouble-free experience that PmWiki delivers. Our University has rather strict style guidelines for the visual appearance of departmental webs, and so we were pleased to discover how easy and flexible is to customize PmWiki's appearance. We are also delighted with the very direct support of mathematical formulas, greek letters, accented characters... and how all the formatings look automagically OK in all browsers. Now that's trouble-free! Our site is designed to not appear as a wiki to outside visitors, with the edit access (restricted to lab members) provided as a line of "administration" links at the bottom of the site; this is virtually unnoticed by outside visitors, yet is comfortably found by the lab people.
We also find notable the small requirements of PmWiki: All the site is served by a very modest (but easy to setup and trivial to maintain) FSG-3, a network storage device that is powered by a minimalistic, PDA-class, Xscale processor. In spite of that, and to our surprise, PmWiki seems to perform well, maybe because the number of pages is not large, we keep the sizes of picture files small (this seems to be important in our setup), and use the Cookbook recipe FastCache?. And this device is running various PmWiki simultaneously: It serves also various personal sites, some of them (like this one) PmWikis? with different skins and the admin links completely removed in favour of AccessKeys?. In summary, PmWiki (and the FSG-3) allows us simple, trouble-free web presence with almost null requirements for administrative tasks.

LinksBoks Project Homepage
I used PmWiki about 1 year ago to create the "official" homepage of my pet project, a port of the Links browser to the Xbox console. I kept the design simple without too much CSS because the site had to render fine on the actual browser :)
PmWiki was great for this task, but I had to lock out editing and make a dedicated section for that, because of a few smart 12 year olds who wouldn't stop defacing the pages with obscene stuff. Other than that, no problems at all. I altered the Page History layout a little to avoid CSS.

The Lokhim Biogas Project empowers villagers of Lokhim in Nepal to improve their life. Our programme combines training with microcredit schemes to introduce Biogas technology in the village. Biogas brings the fundamental things that we in developed nations take for granted; light, cooking gas, fertilizer, and perhaps most importantly, more the opportunities to educate children.

I used to run wordpress but I found that it was chunky and was hard to keep project logs and static pages updated. A good friend of mine showed me PmWiki and I decided to give it a try. I have to say this is the smoothest running website I have ever maintained. Defiantly going to use PmWiki for future sites.

Matrioszka: O Rosji po polsku (www.matrioszka.info) (September 2006)
Matrioszka (Polish for «matryoshka») is a website about Russia, Russian language and culture intended for Polish audience. It is my personal, not-for-profit project I started in 2005 when, after returning from Moscow, I found out that there is no decent source of such information and a niché exists. Originally, I used Mambo (now Joomla, I suppose) as the CMS backend, which I even ported to PostgreSQL at that time, but was unsatisfied with the outcome (it worked fine but there was too much hassle with editing -- it's an interface issue).
My goal for Matrioszka is not just to create a place where I can put some articles I wrote, but rather to provide a platform where other people can write too and be reasonably credited for this. To facilitate editing and increase flexibility I have ported Matrioszka to PmWiki.
From the technical side, which probably interests you the most, Matrioszka is not a single website but a WikiFarm that also hosts my other sites, ie. my homepage, a website about Lviv, and some other one too at the moment, and can be easily extended to more in the future -- it is as simple as issuing an mkdir sites/www.example.com/ and creating a local/config.php in this directory. The site-dependent config.php file has virtually just a few lines, as most stuff is configured site-wide in farmconfig.php, extconfig.php (loads extensions, included from the site config.php), and i18n.LN.php which contains all the language-dependent stuff (LN stands for language, currently en or pl).
All of this is possible thanks to PmWiki's excellent flexibility (virtually no need to modify the core code, except removing inline CSS and customizing the error message). Apache's mod_rewrite is also involved. The Cookbook extensions used are: Beautifier (not really needed at the moment), CommentBoxPlus, MarkupExtensions, Flash (again, not in use now), Cookbook:LinkTitles, MediaCat, MergeMetaTags (disabled for now, not working), PageToc, SearchHighLight (originally not Unicode-clear, but I implemented a lame fix), UserAuth, PresenceAwarenessLight (turned off for now), RandomQuote and ViewModes.
I have also rewritten the VisitorsLogging script for use on this page. Piotr Szczepanski?
Media Revolution in Early Modern Europe (http://faculty.valpo.edu/mlundin/mediarevolution)
- Course website for college history class on the Print Revolution (Fall 2008)
This is my first use of a wiki in a classroom seeting, and PmWiki has made the experience a breeze. So far, PmWiki (and its eclectic collection of recipes) has enabled me expand the website as classroom needs have changed. Some of the features (and related recipes) include:
- A shoutbox (Fox?)
- A collapsible comment box for quick additions to the site (Fox? and ShowHide?)
- Tag clouds (ListCategories? - allows for organized chaos)
- A calendar (PmCalendar?)
- Multilayered edit and read permissions (via AuthUser)
- Embedded flash videos (Flash?)
- Embedded delicious clouds (Delicious?)
- Custom links for clipping content to pages (cmsb-addlink.php from CMSBundle?)
- This is my favorite - there's a scrapbook section on the site in which each page has a link that can be dragged to the bookmark bar and used to clip urls to the page. Thus, students can create their own custom "link dumps."
In short, PmWiki is a complete wiki plus a powerful CMS for classroom contexts. It's far more flexible and robust than the proprietary software offered by many university IT departments.
I do hope that the next release of PmWiki will contain built-in blogging tools. To combine the ease of blog content management (and the social networking potential of a blog) with the slow, cumulative growth of a wiki -- now that would be a powerful tool! Wikis are still on the cutting edge -- in many ways, all those fancy Web 2.0 apps are still catching up. But the more PmWiki can be integrated with existing social web tools and methods, the more people will come to see the power of wikis.

By the way, there is a little problem with the french internationalization i18n-fr.zip since the files for PmWikiFr are not in UTF-8, so you will have to use iconv (otherwise the accents are not well displayed).

The critical need for this outdoor concert venue was a site that offered up-to-the-minute concert information. When we explained PmWiki, they knew it fit the bill. Everything is customized here, from the markup that formats the concert dates with a single tag to the automated stagger of concert act images on the calendar to the audio/video links. When the manager was in Kansas and found out that a new show had been confirmed, he was able to upload the new image and update the information from his hotel room. It was then that he realized just how powerful PmWiki is! They are sold on it!

ProjectsISSS, for the International Society for the Systems Sciences
In late 2004 and early 2005, the International Society for the Systems Sciences rearchitected its web site -- first implemented circa 1997! -- into an XHTML site with sections powered by open source PHP-based software.
For collaborative work, we first piloted MediaWiki. We added content for a few months, and then came time to change the look-and-feel of ProjectsISSS to match the rest of the site. (This essentially was just adding a standard XHTML header and footer to the PHP script).
The ISSS is made up of volunteers, with a webmaster who is technically competent, but not immersed in PHP technogy. Staring at MediaWiki's PHP code for 20 hours produced no progress! We couldn't figure out how to change the look-and-feel to match the rest of the ISSS site!
As an alternative, the webmaster requested the service provider to load PmWiki on the server, and try it out. Within 3 hours, the major customizations to look-and-feel were done, and we on to migrating content from the old MediaWiki environment to PmWiki.
At the 49th Annual Meeting of the ISSS at Cancun in July 2005, we relaunched the ISSS web site, and hope to bring on some more novice users to the PmWiki world!

This site was created for fellow alumni members to stay in contact with each other and share their stories. This school had its 102 graduation class in 2006. Even though the school is in a small community, there are a lot of alumni all over the world.
This site was started in April of 2004 using conventional HTML code writing. It was very time consuming to keep the site up to date and to make changes. In mid 2005 I utilized PMWiki? and reorganized the whole site. I must say that site maintenance is much easier!

Also from my site you can link to the http://falcon.tamucc.edu/wiki/TFCTL/HomePage 21st Century Teaching and Learning website, a Title project that I have been involved in at the university as well. As a teaching tool I can't say enough about PmWiki. Since I began using PmWiki, Patrick has conducted numerouse workshops for faculty/staff at our university and the use of PmWiki in other classes has really grown. PmWiki is a powerful tool for creating more interactive learning opportunities. Thanks Patrick! -- Susan Loudermilk
TAMU-CC Adjunct agrees!
I was very fortunate to learn PmWiki from PM. At TAMU-CC our entire First-Year Writing Program is based on PmWiki for both instructor distribution of course materials and student submissions. Students are given their own "space" to both submit work and make knowledge from blank pages. Awesome! To see how simply a complex teaching site can be English Johnson is where my course work lives. Thanks again Patrick!-- Frances Johnson

PmImg:2003/dnr-2.gif
This research organization has some sophisticated web frontends to its environmental databases, but needed a way for researchers to quickly create and update content. At first glance this site doesn't look like a wiki site, but it is! The edit links are hidden beneath the banner until the mouse pointer is over them.
TI-994a.com - Texas Instruments - TI-99/4a Computer (http://www.ti-994a.com)
This is a website for information related to the TI-99/4a home computer. This site is also the home of the largest FAQ for the TI computer. I used to use PHPBB as the main website software but it was too cumbersome with me being the main contributor. I changed the site over to PmWiki so I could easily edit, maintain and update the site. Since I'm the sole contributor I tucked the editing features away.
Toyota MR2 Wiki
Website: http://mr2wiki.com DaveG?
PmWiki really wins out with it's ease of installation, and ease and flexibility by which it can be customized. Totally text based (no DB), it's quick and simple to setup. The author is also extreemly responsive to problems, bugs, help, and general suggestions for improvement. PmWiki has by far the best community of developers and users of any of the wikis.
The purpose of the MR2 wiki is to provide a comprehensive source of information, facts, and answers to common questions about the Toyota MR2. The MR2 has been around since 1984, and was one of the first popular mid-engine sports cars, with a 0-60mph time of around 6.5 seconds, rivaling many modern sports cars.

Under Water Fishing Lights, has just launched their new site all updated with the latest version of PmWiki! The author of this site LOVES the versatility of the new template system, as well as the ease of use with style sheets. The submersible light industry has another thing coming since Under Water Fishing Lights teamed up with PmWiki. It has made creating a site, and keeping it dynamic enough to add information as needed very simple!

Unitarian Universalist Church of Corpus Christi (http://wiki.uucorpus.org)
We needed a way for multiple people to update our site easily and to facilitate communication within the church. PmWiki has served both purposes wonderfully. We are now able to keep our content fresh and enrichment groups each have their own WikiGroup. We even distribute our newsletter electronically via PmWiki. As a church of free thinkers, people are coming up with new ways to use wiki all the time. Thanks Pm!
University of Minnesota Libraries Staff
We found that our old staff web site (largely developed in HTML, often with DreamWeaver to construct pages) was getting stale. Nobody was in charge of the site and those of our staff with HTML skills were swamped enough that changes were slow to appear. We decided to try a wiki in an effort to get more staff involved in the editing and maintenance of the site. We also felt a wiki could help us enforce a template on the site. After flirting with twiki, we chose PmWiki because of its clear philosophy, clear documentation, and active user community. PmWiki has been a joy to work with.
University of Texas Sailing Club
Website: http://www.utsailing.com/
We decided to use a wiki for our officer documentation, but it expanded into the whole site. It's fantastically easy to update, and we haven't found one instance where PmWiki wouldn't work. The major sticking point was the massive PmWiki community and all of their recipes.

Web-based Administration of Site
Website: Unichurch Web Site
When choosing an infrastructure for the website, the focus was easy administration of the web site for multiple users. There are a lot of choices out there, and it took a lot of time to find a solution that;
- Was cost effective (free)
- Offered the required functionality with restrictions such as no database support.
- Was easy to use
- Had comprehensive documentation and support
- Had an active user base.

VIGOR Ligornetto
I spent a lot of time developing customized web applications and, when I had to set up a new site for the VIGOR athelics, I looked around for some existing framework matching their requirements. PmWiki was the right solution, easy to customize and quite easy to mantain and populate even for non technical editors.

Washington Community Church (http://www.washingtoncommunity.org)
Using PmWiki has proven much more effective than doing it myself with hand-coded PHP. First of all, it saves me the work of writing a lot of PHP code and second of all, it prevents me from being the bottleneck for getting content up online. By the way, my web host doesn't have command line access, but I am able to install, configure, and run PmWiki without any problems. Thanks!
wiki.rowi.net (http://wiki.rowi.net)
A long time I coded html and PHP myself. Editing with vi after logging in with a secure shell was not a quick thing to put some new ideas to a web place. So I found PMWiki? for putting my ideas and knowledge to my own webserver just by using the browser. It was (and is) a pleasure to have a handy tool for getting ideas, knowledge and more into a webbased system. Then, somebody of my german Volkswagen Scirocco Forum (http://www.sciroccoforum.de) told me that he would like to put a Scirocco knowlege base to the web. Well, PMWiki? could do this and now there are nearly 4000 people coming from the forum who are able to edit all the details about this car. Nevertheless, I'm writing tips and hints to the wiki for all things of life like SecondLife?, GPS systems, VoIP? and much more. It's a source for all information I have in mind or maybe should remember of.
WikiHistory? (http://www.wikihistory.org)
WikiHistory is an open World history online.
When I decided the World needed an open history book it was obvious to me that a wiki was the way to make it happen. After some research, PmWiki was the one that was recommended. You have no idea how happy I was when it "just worked". It was easy to install, and adding skins was simple. I love it. I hope everyone helps fill in the history now!

I needed a way to create and update my site easily with little knowledge of webpage creation or expertise HTML Code. PmWiki has served these purposes wonderfully. It is so easy to use that I keep finding new ways to add new content AND new pages. As a consequence my site just keeps on getting larger AND gets better and better!!! To easisy display a large collection of photos (~2000), I added, by a main menu link, the Web Photo Album Presenter called Gallery. It has many great features and a wonderful Slide Show. Thanks Pm for your great webpage system1!

Thanks so much for the well documented, easy to run and feature rich software, PmWiki has become!
I have found two interesting sources and would like to give the benefit of my experience to you.
I am tuning my pc by the best software for free, with the file search engine Fileshunt.com and Filesfinds.com May be you have your own experience and could give some useful sites too. Because this two social sites help me much.
The Pizarra Team :)
I'd just like to rave about what a beautiful piece of code PmWiki is. I'm only just beginning to realise the power of it, and the learning curve, from installing recipes, through fiddling with the CSSes? and templates, to finally coding my own solutions with directives or from scratch, has been downhill all the way. That's the hallmark of an architecture that Einstein would have liked: as simple as possible but no simpler. Thanks for being gifted!
