Re sessions: one thing that occurred to me is that the current
sessionful URL sits in the way of 'visited link coloring' when people
return to a Gardner Wiki. Is it doable to stash the session id in a
cookie so that when creating a new session, this id is checked and
re-used? What would be the drawbacks here?

OBTW: during my vacation and based on feedback from my brother-in-law
who knows a bit about design and usability, the next thingy on my list
for the site (and another white box component in the suite) is a
'threading tool', which lets you thread Wiki pages into stories. The
idea is that if you are on a page where one or more threads start, a
menu ('read more about:<ul><li>Thread 1 topic</li><li>Thread 2
topic</li>...</ul>') is added to the page. If you enter a thread, a set
of navigation buttons is added to every page in the thread (first/last,
previous/next).

Furthermore, I'm thinking about 'pop-up' links, which is useful for
definitions. So instead of writing *Term*, you'd write something like
*popup:Term* (or, more generally, with some syntax like
*Term{prop1=value1,...}*, (*Term{mode=popup}*') which would show the
Wiki page in a popup.

With this, I hope to provide navigational guidance through the wiki for
various visitor groups (potential customers, potential employees, ...).
The idea of the whole website is to entice visitors into reading the
whole story piecemeal - short pages and excellent navigation are my
strategy to let people spend much more time than they were originally
planning on my site ;-).
