Agreed. Much better than incoming links. However, the incoming links do
provide a (flawed) navigation mechanism, in lack of something better.

Nope. Ripped it out when I made the templates. However, I sometime long
for a site-wide "links" bar which provide navigation (the thing wikis are
very bad at). I've hacked mine into the templates.

PS: is CVS in a working state? Was wondering because I really need the
table support. Thanks!

Take care,
