Abstract

In this article we will demonstrate a technique used to automatically add Wiki Pages to PBWiki using
the not quite released API provided by the peanut butter guys.

Without the API, creating and linking the presentation to a Wiki page would have to be an ugly manual process involving the dreaded cut and pasting of URL’s.
