rather then mod_rewrite it why not just move all the wiki source files up
one directory so they actually live at http://spirolattic.net/ ?

> So, armed with mod_rewrite and a lot of courage, I produced this:

if you want the rewritten rule to show up in the users browser you need to
have mod_proxy enabled as well and have these options at the end of rule
[P,L] for example here's a mod_rewrite rule i used to do to make a friends
web site which he wanted to show up on my site to where it was actually
hosted on uswest:

  RewriteRule  ^/(.*)  http://www.users.uswest.net/~nift/$1    [P,L]

> RewriteRule ^([^wiki]+)$ wiki/$1

i think you want something more like this (assuming that there are not
other non-wiki pages on spirolattic.net ... if there are then you're gonna
have to figure out a way to tell what's a wiki page adn what isn't):

  RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://spirolattic.net/wiki/$1	[P,L]

> which of course fails miserably.

if i remember my regex's correctly what you're doing is creating a
character class with the []'s so rather then matching "wiki" plus stuff
you're matching one or more w's, i's or k's.
