Thanks for this information.
What we want to build with SmallWiki is a *platform* that others can
extend and
we would like it to be at the core dialect independent.
So we will encourage people to extend, improve SmallWiki. Our point
here is not
to be in competition with WikiWorks or SWiki but to offer a solution
that brings synergy in the
community and that is extensible (at the price of changing its
structure if needed).
We thought of using seaside to enable the page construction out of
components. For the moment
we refrain to do that because GnuSmalltalk and Smalltalk/X do not
support callcc functionality.
That's why we are interested in TwoFlowers, all kinds of backends (for
now we use SIXX and
save the image ;).

David Murphy and I have been developing an IRC Client

and using IRC to collaborate our distributed development efforts.
We use the public store to manage our source code and we use IRC to
communicate. For version 1.4.x of the IRC Client, it is intended that
we include links to the development environment to further encourage
collaborative development over IRC.
I recommend you adopt the public store as your source code repository
and adopt TypeLess (our IRC client) as the tool to meet to discuss
bugs/patches/enhancements of your wiki. It would be ideal if we could
find ways to integrate SmallWiki and the TypeLess 1.4.x series
together - just as it would be idea to find ways to integrate James's
blogging and RSS feeds into the process as well.
I firmly believe we're on the verge of a distributed development
breakthrough.
