Chris - do you have any notes on the building of the system, code snippets etc? I note that the repository for the Swiki package is inaccessible these days. It really would be nice to get this updated to go on SqueakMap for insta-loading.
When was Squeak4.5? Five, six years ago? I haven???t looked at this in a while. I???ll need a bit of time to reflect. I do seem to remember that the separation between application and data was pretty clear, so if you have a new application you can just point it to the right directory and it???ll set itself up. What I mean is if you wanted to replace the wiki.squeak.org http://wiki.squeak.org/ you should be able to park a new application over the existing directory of files and just turn it on. Mark Guzdial is a professor after all. Install from SqueakMap? I???ll have to think about it some.

It might be a good idea to open a new squeaksource.com project to capture the existing (old) swiki code in a Monticello package, and then apply updates to that as we bring things up to date. The new project should have a pointer back to http://wiki.squeak.org/swiki/15 along with credits to the original authors.
I notice also that Nicola Mingotti has quite recently added some swiki enhancements in www.squeaksource.com/SwikiExtraUtils so it may well be that a few people have swiki enhancements waiting to be adopted.
