Yes, there is a alternative mailing list dedicated to Swikis (actually PWS
in general): pws at cc.gatech.edu.  This mailing list is closed to only
subscribers, so you most subscribe before posting.

What is the exact error you are experiencing?  Are you able to start up a
SwikiAction or does it fail?

You most use the appropriate seperators depending on the OS.  For Windows,
it is correct to use $\.  One possible problem occurs when you enter a
server directory without an ending $\.
ServerAction>>class serverDirectory should like ^ 'c:\squeakdir\server\'

This shouldn't be a problem.  One difference between Macs and Windows is
that Windows does not like PWS to serve on a low port number.  Try serving
on a higher port number, ie. 8080.
