Thanks Eugene :-) I agree about Wiki's, TouchGraph really could be used to
make them much easier to deal with, by making their structure visible. (02)
Once dynamic DB access is worked out (with the main difficulty here being
clearing nodes from memory before the graph gets too large), it seems that
very little work would have to be done do visualize any Wiki. I checked
out the code for phpWiki on sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwiki/ , and was surprised to see how
simple the database structure is. Also, something that struck me is the TG
visualization could be performed independently of the language that the
wiki was written in, all that matters is that the database is accessible. (03)

Ah, the ETA for my next release... Well, I keep thinking that it will be
soon, but then it turns out that something is harder to code then I
thought, or I get off on a tangent adding some neat feature. I am going to
try to stay focused on releasing the next version though, so it should be
out in a couple of weeks ... and definitely by the beginning of next year :) (06)
