This can be worked on, though, using much the same way as the subscriber
list/page code.  MrBawb (Dan Drown) let us know that he's presented a
second draft of our patch for that upstream.  If they take that we can
work on something similar to address this issue.

We're getting closer though.  Last release we did pretty well --
although some of what we did was not pretty.  If we fixed categories
we'd be partway there.  Making it so the wiki could be run from multiple
servers would go far towards getting us the rest of the way.
