Yes, I think so too.  In fact, for LuaRocks wiki Hisham wrote a markup
plugin that supports Wikipedia-like formatting and  I believe this is
nearly identical to what Lua-Users wiki uses.  I'll test it over the
weekend and see how well this works.  Hisham's plugin assumes [[...]]
notation for wikilinks, but it should be easy to add support for
CamelNotation too.

If you think that's desirable...

Can you write one using your own machine and email it to me - I will
add it as an option when setting up the demo.  BTW, there is a new
install script as of yesterday, so the installation with Xavante
should be a lot simpler:

    mkdir ~/sputnik  # or any other directory that you have write access to
    cd ~/sputnik
    wget http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/files/sputnik_install_2008_02_14.sh
    sh sputnik_install_2008_02_14.sh
    cd bin
    ./lua5.1 xavante_start

Then look for sputnik at http://localhost:8080/sputnik.lua  (For CGI
installation see http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/Installation)
