Oh, OK, well, yeah, if you like.  Send Ivor a patch :)  Personally
I like the idea of having it rendered.  I'll come back to this once
I've heard from chromatic.

It's a set of tools for writing wikis.  I thought I would make a
wheel-making machine rather than a wheel.  It uses Text::WikiFormat, so
it can only handle very basic Wiki formatting at the moment.  It's got
a choice of MySQL and Postgres backends - I went with databases so I
could use fulltext searching with stemming instead of simple matching,
but it should be easy enough to add classes to use any kind of backend
storage.  I'm thinking along the lines of adding support for the
usemod file store at some point, and also extending Text::WikiFormat
to be able to do usemod style.  Then we're well on the way to be able
to move grubstreet to a clean, extensible codebase without requiring
any change in data - and back again, if we really wanted to.

Check out the macro support; I stole the idea from moinmoin and I
think it's pretty cool.
