Okay -- thank! -- I think I get it now ... I see there is code in the
WikiUser->createHomepage() method that is supposed to create these
... but on inspection I don't think this could have ever worked.

I'm new here, so pardon me if this is not an appropriate question ...
but is there any discipline on this project that prevents broken code
from being checked into CVS?  I keep running into non-functional or
incompletely implemented functions that (IMO) really shouldn't be in a
released codebase.  It's been quite frustrating.

I agree ... *especially* with Jochen's new UserRegistration function.
The home page should be created when the user registers.  If they are
doing a bogologin, then I don't see any reason to create one.

Anyway, it now appears to me the current homepage template doesn't work
and hasn't been used, and so it won't cause any problems to replace it
with one that supports the new UserRegistration function.  Would folks
agree?
