Great! I just wanted to make sure not to overwhelm you in case you would have just put this up for testing, but were not ready to commit to maintaining it.

Or any documentation at all.

I recall, with a shudder, how one fine day a high-priority Javascript project (high-priority as in, it was due the week before it was given to me) was dumped on my lap, consisting of a non-trivial class hierarchy and bunch of modules of at least 3-4 layers of abstraction, with absolutely no documentation whatsoever. No design docs, no code comments, nothing. It was "read the code, pray you'll understand it all in 3 days, implement the new features of questionable feasibility, and hope it doesn't break". Some of the code involved 4-5 levels of nested closures accessing badly-named global variables. You can imagine the hilarity that ensues when the guy who wrote the mess leaves and a new person comes in having no idea what the code is supposed to do.

The threading is not fine on some of your posts in Thunderbird for me.

Whoever added those icons, they look awesome! It's already much more user-friendly than prowiki.
