Yes.

That was yesterday:

"Because zope.org is a brittle mess and I don't want to take a chance of making

  wants to help me, I'd be willing to try. "

Perhaps you took so much offense at the first part of what I said,
you didn't notice the second part.

Yes.

I don't know.  Does ZWiki have any tendrils in CMF? Has the version
of ZWiki used on zope.org been modified in any way to work with the
CMF?  I don't know.

Oh, BTW, zope.org runs some revision of the Zope 2.6 branch.
Does the latest ZWiki work with that?

Michael Haubenwallner,

Do you have any opinion on this?  Should we try doing a ZWiki
upgrade?
