Swiki needs the old version of Comanche, therefore if you want to run in 
a 3.6 image, you'll need to use the old version of Comanche...however, 
you'll need a patched version to work with the 3.6 network rewrite.  The 
SqueakMap package is:

  
http://map1.squeakfoundation.org/sm/package/9b4a3faa-d342-4da8-8c3a-9a237bcea64d.  


But, all the Swiki versions I've used had Comanche bundled in, so you 
may need to do some work to separate Swiki from Comanche (I don't know 
whether there is a Swiki changeset available that doesn't include Comanche).

I really don't know the answer to this one, if Swiki only deals with the 
network indirectly through Comanche, then there shouldn't be any 
ramifications on Swiki (as long as you use the patched 5.1 version of 
Comanche for Squeak 3.6).

Kom is just an abbreviation of Comanche.

You cannot load multiple versions of Comanche into a single image.

There is a very brief history here:  http://squeaklab.org/comanche

Correct...it was done before Comanche 6.2 was running on Squeak 3.6.

I can't see any reason you'd need to go to Squeak 3.7 unless you want 
all the latest updates coming out.

Yes, it will likely be a big mess.  My advice is to load Comanche 6.2 
(KomHttpServer on SqueakMap) and try out the SmallWiki package and see 
if it will meet your needs.  If you want to stick with the old Swiki, 
then my advice is to download and use one of the pre-configured images 
for ComSwiki and don't use Comanche 6.2 or Squeak 3.6.
