To clarify, my thinking is that attachments go away once we can have pages
with any content type.  It seems more like the Wiki Way.  (ESR also talks
about programming by removing features until the program is perfect <g>).

Vijay, check out wicked's README if you haven't already.  I've put a lot of
stuff in there about what Wicked 1.0 will look like.  None of it is set
in stone and none of it is meant to discourage people from contributing
anything else, but it is an excercise in sort of visualizing the goal as
a whole.

I'm also getting feedback from users that they don't like wiki markup
(one is pretty disgusted--"everything else is WYSIWYG nowadays, why do I
have to deal with CODES?").  I don't think I want to slip it into 1.0,
but I'd like to see WYSIWYG editing in it, too.

By the way, I committed your patches and the wicked.php script.  Thanks!
