[plug] Which Wiki?

[Shayne O'Neill]

Theres a few out there now that use htmlarea (including my own one which
alas I'm not really into explaining how to set up, since its servlet(!)
based)

I saw another htmlarea one the other day, and alas cant remember the name,
but these are great, since its pretty much wysiwyg, and on the windoze
boxes even let folks paste in word stuff with formatting etc intact.
