Hmm. It might be overkill. How long will it take for you to do? I'm
worried that you might spend 100 hours on something that might not have a
great demand... but it would be great to have a secure way to dump a Wiki.
Since this is an admin feature speed is not important; but if I read you
right, you're going to implement zip in PHP?
Is there anything you can't do? :-)
