I find myself agreeing with Chris on this one .... maybe the Wiki would suit 
for single files, but packages of files might prove cumbersome. As I 
mentioned earlier the built in Wiki export was designed to companion with 
the Wiki import feature. It works great on bundles of files that I've been 
moving from my test bed to the POV-Wiki but it doesn't include the images 
embedded with those files. I've had to upload those separately.
