Plus, I have it on good authority the author is amenable to patches ;-)

If you're interested in the guts, Pimki is an Instiki-Wiki base plus
general PIM features. It's currently being updated to the new Instiki
(modern rails based), and will hopefully be released soon -- with more
features -- as Pimki2.

Maybe not the greatest source of clean software in its current state,
but I'll be happy to answer any question you may have, and add to the
features list (developed in open source time - i.e. two hours past
midnight per day :)

Cheers,
