The implicit linking won't help here, unless the pages have different
wikinames: remember that the search stops in the current project if a
matching page is found.

I think your header approach is correct.

emacs-wiki-markup-link doesn't understand heirarchies, so published
links to WikiName pages (including the ones in the index) do not work.
I haven't figured out how this interacts with the new protocol stuff
yet, so I can't offer a quick patch :-(

I am in heaven =)O|  Going back to CVS really hurts these days.

No, the windows filesystem can't handle long paths, and it messes with
the case of created files.  There is a port in the works though, you
can find it by googling for 'Leroy Lode tla'...

If it works like all the other mailing lists email interface, then you
can send an email with Subject: Subscribe (and maybe a body 'subscribe'
too) to address@hidden

The glory belongs to John, Damien and Sacha... I just throw a spanner
in the works from time to time :*)

Cheers,
