Hi Eric,

I think there is a lot of application besides "web collaboration" with 
our WM Wiki given its numerous extension points.

For example, from your post below, I now know that I can a wiki source 
document as:

View This Report: 
sql://QueryName/WhereClause={someWereClause}/OrderByClause={someOrderByClause}

Because I can write a sql:// tag renderer, I can offer a sql reporting 
protocol inside our WM Wiki.

Eric, could you try over the next few weeks to document a bit more some 
of pluggable features. For example, it would be good if you explained 
why your action handler list is not a map. (Don't explain it here, I 
think i know now). The action handler model is really an improvement 
over some of the things we have done in the past.

Kindest,

Lane
