I'm not opposed to using ikiwiki. It would have the advantage of sharing
the same markup syntax with the Hurd wiki. I'll download ikiwikie today
and take a look at it. I already have an SVN repository on that box for
it to use. However, I don't see how it will help someone with no net
access. Unless you're going to come by my office and physically access
the server, you'll still need net access to get to SVN. 

DokuWiki also stores its files as plain text, incidently. It relies on
RCS for versioning.
