Hello Alex,

I meant to reply to your announcement of 0.9.2 the other day.  How far
are you going to take Instiki?  Do you want bug reports and RFEs?

I'm thinking about learning Ruby (I've spent some time looking at C,
C++, Perl, and Python, and I'm currently doing a short exploration (I
think) of Lisp and maybe Smalltalk before jumping in) and then writing
my own wiki-like thing (with quite a few enhancements).  

Instiki might serve as a good learning / jumping off point.

But I have found some bugs (IMHO) and can see some things that I think
might be improvements.

The first bug, IMHO, is that HTML entities don't work as I'm used to,
they are not saved as HTML entities but instead are converted to the
"real" character, thus, for example, if you (I) want to display
something like <an example HTML tag>, it disappears after (iirc) the
next edit.

Since I went this far, let me ask, do you see that as a major problem to
fix (like requiring a major rewrite of the "parsing" code, or something
fairly simple?

Randy Kramer
