Awwww!  :)

Care to add that quote to zwiki.org ? It needs some salt.

I also detest, not the concept of web-based collaboration, but the
slow, unergonomic, unusable, inefficient manifestations of it that
have been so prevalent. Note that people whose setup supports very
fast web browsing are often less aware of this problem.

For rapid back-and-forth discussion we don't yet have anything to beat
email. NB zwiki wants to become interchangeable with a mailing list,
but so far only the rudimentary PageSubscribers: mechanism has been
implemented.

PS how exactly did it make you hate web collaboration more ?
Was zwiki.org's easy comment form any help ?
