It was a fresh install on a brand new system. My previous one was different

Well at first start I got an error message stating that dbm was not
available. Wich is the default on 10.3.3. I was not willing to download and
compile a bunch of files.

So that I don't get an error message at first launch.

With pleasure ;-)
But I have to first have a refresh. I noted it existence part of a big
project which include a survey of the web for Wiki, Wikilike syntax end
markup and other end user oriented initiative to ease collaborative
publishing.

By the way, I found a tip for Mac users and was willing to put it on the
wiki. I did not found a page like MacOSFaq. Since I did not know the
PageCreationAndNamingPolicy for the wiki, I just added it to the bottom of
the MacOSXPackage page which is the most relevant one (only one) I
discovered with a simple search on "mac".
