If you need the functionality anyway, doing it on the

much worse than using a CGI. So it could be useful on small site, i.e. to
document a service and monitor it on the same site.
I didn't mean to imply that it was totally useless, of course; if you
need it, you'll use it.
I'd think it could benefit from some improvements,
such as to allow a
parameter in LocalSettings to restrict where it can connect to; and have
its own cache, so you can view it as often as you want from as many pages,
without hitting the same address many times a second. That would be a
nice benefit to using the wiki.
Those would be sensible additions.
