If no one else steps up, I'll see what I can do. I've got a long weekend here, so this would be something to test out.
I'd prefer something like "twiki", which is low impact as possible. i.e. one perl script, and a whack of text files, which are version controlled. That's better (IMHO) than an SQL database.
Hmmm :-) I think text files is much more ugly for storing structured portions of data, it's harder to support, harder to expand any new features or even schema of data storing, I'm not saying anything about queries to such data also, for obvious reasons... :-) best regards Ruslan A Dautkhanov

Wiki pages aren't structured. They contain cross-links, but they're not structured in any meaningful sense. Ansd I'm wary of storing large amounts of text in a DB. When something goes wrong with the DB, you've lost all of the text, and can't recover it. If the text is stored in files, you have less chance of one error destroying all of your text. Alan DeKok.
