I've been using MediaWiki, mostly because it's the same software that WP runs,
and so it's well-supported, and I could easily fork articles and content from
WP onto my site.
But I'll definitely check out dokuwiki. I've been finding my MW install very
slow lately, and despite my best efforts, it's not running any faster.
As far as the BBS, to this point it has been private, but I may be opening it
up soon, and it would be cool if users on my board could edit the wiki without
needing a separate account.

Yeah, this new demo is based on the same code I used to make the "girl in the
forest" parallax demo I posted on FB. The new one features art by Whazzit of
Blocktronics/Mistigris, and is more polished, and will be in the next Mistigris
artpack.
I'm hoping that my daughter and I can make something playable from my 'tileset'
code. But I'm still busy drawing/adapting RPG tiles into ANSI, and haven't done
enough code work on the actual game.
