Indeed, this has been on my "to-do" list for some time...to create 
some example "demo" configurations that people can download, 
install, and modify to see how they're done.  I hadn't done it prior 
to now because I knew I would probably be changing the core layout 
strategy and the directory structure in a way that would make it easier
to provide skins.  

In fact, at http://www.pmichaud.com/work/beta you'll note that PmWiki 0.6 
now has "pub" and "pub/css" directories where administrators (and 
cookbook recipe authors) can place files such as graphics and/or 
stylesheets that must be accessible by web browsers.  I opened up
local/ on the beta site so that people can see the .php config files,
but this shouldn't be done in a normal installation unless you're
really certain someone can't accidentally execute the .php files 
instead of just viewing them.
