Thanks veeery much.

?? If I use the old one wiki.cs, probably it wont work, if I use the 
new, then no editing can be done ??

HEY SHOREWALL GUYS, I know you hear me :) here is my enphatic vote for a 
very nice feature! (and it is already working)

Yes, since today. I am just in the test phase. I have been testing and 
thinking a lot for much more time. Tags solve some big problems:
- I want to make the program's user manual in the wiki so that it can be 
more cooperative. A Tag is perfect to separate it from other stuff. With 
it I can also download all tha manual pages in HTML with wget, run a 
script to remove all headers and footers and resease both an electronica 
and a paper version.
- A big project needs a lot af annotating, that is not proper for 
tickets. I can separate my annotations in many tags and avoid caos.
- One question: in the description it says that it is hierarquical, but 
it seems to have only one level. Is it?

Just send your ideas, I will be very glad to participate. I have been 
using wiki not for long and I met Trac less than a week ago, but the 
concepts are not new at all.

In fact I was looking for much less. Trac solves many problems that I 
was not even thinking of automating so soom. "Your" Tags solve what I 
think of a _major_flaw_ in wikis (including wikipedia)

Thanks,
Alain
