[Pmwiki-users] Feature requests (switch template, append text/mail to wiki)

I'm now dealing with the 3rd installation of PmWiki that I'm
administrating, and there's two others I'm doing the templates for.
[Whew! :) ]
1) I need some way of allowing a user to switch the template that
PmWiki is using. One template I'm working on is for nostalgic value
but there's reasons that people might want to switch to a more
'standard' template (to stop eyestrain for example LOL -- and some
people just won't "get it"). So I would like to suggest a session
variable to define which template is being used by a browser, as well
as allowing some type of link that will change that variable (change
"template-a.tmpl" to "template-b.tmpl" for that session, and maybe
allow someone to put that in a link to the wiki so they never have to
deal with the annoyance ;) ).
2) I really need that script for posting text files/emails to PmWiki [I
checked about a week ago, and the filelink was broken -- if something
else is going on the page in the Cookbook ought to be updated] --
however I would like the option of appending text to the wiki at points
where there are certain comment or anchor(probably the best idea)
markups -- I think those markups should be customizable such that you
append text within an anchor section --> if I append to "AnchorA" it
should put the text before "AnchorB". There should be a way to
delineate "Prefix" as opposed to "Append-after" so that I can put a
"Top" anchor and have items append just under Top, such that the most
recent changes end up at the top of a page rather than at the bottom.
3) Another behavior I would like to see for the page creation in the
posting of text files/email to PmWiki is that they adhere to the page
template enabled for the page/group -- the anchor text markup in the
template would specify where the new text would go for the page -- or
the new text gets prepended or postpended (yeah, that's not a word) to
the page template text if there's no specifications.
I'm working on a very specific php program that does some changes to
mail/text files and I want to pipe or include that file into pmwiki
pages -- in some cases I want that text to be inserted into several
places in a page template on the wiki. I can put the template into the
program, or I can keep the template in the wiki (preferred).
Thanks!

"We humans seem to need to be able to trust in the relationships that
sustain our lives. In the minds of many theorists, that trust is
necessary for adequate functioning. People who are deeply mistrustful
of relationships, or are constantly frightened about possibly losing
relationships, have lives that are damaged and distorted. The damage
may be slight or it may be significant. Avoiding such mistrust and
doubt (or recognizing and overcoming it if it's already there) seems a
central task in human existence."
