Good. If you have any questions, you're welcome to mail me or ask on 
http://zwiki.org/GeneralDiscussion

Oh :-( - I think i understand.

This issue is something i wonder about (in another way as CMF of course) 
in NooWiki too. Hoo can people create new pages and define easily which 
part of the page should A) stay in their SubWiki, B) go to the MainWiki, 
C) be acquired of their corresponding SubWiki page. That's a complicated 
and confusing task.

Sounds good.
I'd appreciate you letting me know your progress.
