I do not see where are decorators. The class Page and GenericStructure does n=
ot have any variable or method related to them.
Note that I loaded the last version of Smallwiki2 from cincom's Store.

Yep, it sounds fine. Are there some test? It would help me to have a look at =
it.

Yup! ParserTests shows that pretty well. Good job!

I feel a bit lost. Why do you want to implement the command pattern? Having u=
ndo-redo mechanism is quite easy to implement with it. Instead of the action =
mechanism present in Smallwiki1 ?

Unfortunately I cannot really spend one day a week. I will try to spend time =
when I can because I like and trust in Smallwiki.

Note that I leave tomorrow evening. I will be able to check my emails this we=
ek, but I cannot bound the latency of my answers :-)
