Of course I warned OSAF from the beginning that this would happen:

http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2002-October/000338.html
-> problems with CamelCase syntax
http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2002-October/000381.html
-> problems with TWiki

Had they decided to use Wikipedia, as I recommended, there would be no
such usability problems now. I have just setup another Wikipedia and the
complaint that it is too encyclopedia-centric is not understandable. You
just have to replace all instances of "Wikipedia" with whatever you
want. Now the OSAF wiki already has nightmare-inducing links like
"RepresentUserImprovingMemoryAndImprovingSkills". That this kind of
nonsense is tolerated does not bode well for the usability of future
Chandler products. :-(
