Compstrm Wiki now a major focus

I've been thinking about putting a major effort into the CompStrm Wiki.
  1. First, some cleanup--especially web pages.
  2. Implement sub-page ordering. This will/should/must be the final change to the existing data structures.
  3. Fix dump file loading, especially command ids and file destroys. (The wiki command rm, like de, also needs to be handled at a higher level.)
  4. Enhance page formating.
  5. Port to Solaris. (Which means it is likely that it will also work on anything except perhaps a Mac.)

The idea is to drive the CompStrm Wiki to beta or even production, and release it as a version 1.0. Then fork the development, with all but bug fixes going into a new version.

My thought is that the existing technology, in the form of a Wiki, is good enough or better. And at this point significant benifits can be gained by making the Wiki usable, rather than producing an endless stream of technology enhancements.
