  OK. So I am a bit tired but the chaos wasn't as bad as I'd imagined. We launched FlexWiki on SourceForge yesterday (or was it today?). A few hours earlier than expected.

  OK, I finally found some time to address many, but not all of the annoying and lingering problems using FlexWiki with Firefox .

And I’m still not done. :-( On the other hand, I’ve been doing it in the evenings with a new baby in the house. And it’s Read More...

• WikiTalk is born (or at least we're driving quickly towards the hospital!)

  OK. I've started to post information about WikiTalk , my new object-oriented language for FlexWiki .
