Hi,

I'm more of a business analyst than a Java/JSP developer, so please
forgive me if this question is a bit rudimentary.  Pointers and RTFMs
are welcome... but not as welcome as example code.  :)

I'm trying to build a small Wiki that can be used to elicit business
requirements from globally distributed business people.  (For those
that care, I'm planning to base my ideas loosely on IBIS, XP user
stories and some other, original ideas).  In any event, I believe I will
need custom Edit templates to create multi-part forms for structuring
content capture.

Here's a basic example:

      <p>Please write a short UserStory describing desired functionality:</p>
       <TEXTAREA CLASS="editor" yada-yada-yada>
           <wiki:InsertPage mode="plain" />
      </TEXTAREA>

      <p>Please describe the business needs this addresses:</p>
       <TEXTAREA CLASS="editor" yada-yada-yada>
           <wiki:InsertPage mode="plain" />
      </TEXTAREA>

So, here are my questions:

    - Has anyone done something like this before w/JSPWiki?  Would you be
       willing to share some source?
    - Is this possible within the current design of JSPWiki without alot of
       in-depth JSP/Java knowledge?  I expect I'll have to pick up a book
       or two and bang my head, but if it's going to be too painful I should
       probably look elsewhere...
    - If JSPWiki doesn't look like a fit, can anyone recommend an alternate
       Wiki engine with easy-to-use template features?  Ideally, I'd like to
       avoid heavy-duty coding.  I tried VeryQuickWiki, but the template
       features seem to be broken.

Any help, pointers, advice, etc, much appreciated.

By the way, JSPWiki is a really nice looking app and the set-up under
Tomcat 4.1.24 was ridiculously easy.  10 minutes, tops.  Nice work!
