You know, for an _entry point_ , what's already at
http://www.pmwiki.org/
is hard to improve on. Answers why wiki and why PmWiki.
I don't understand 1., so don't know if it's important for this page.
Add 5, 6 and 7 and that's the page I'll send my father and friends to.
The new Features page is for an audience that's comparing products in
