It sounds that topic<->topic is not one-to-one either, from your 
description. I think this reflects a focus on technicalities, rather 
than content.

TWiki suffers from semantically-significant line noise. The WebIt 
sources were ignored and forgotten about, but are basically easy to 
read and comprehend. Little seems to be done to prevent the problem of 
forgetting about them from happening again, while the partly-solved 
problem of formatting is being solved afresh again.
