looking for.

http://pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/MemberMgmt does an excellent job of 
using profiles as bio pages... it automatically creates the pages from a 
user's registration form, while still allowing them to be edited as wiki 
pages for the addition of photos, etc.

I am planning to release a bundle of PmWiki+ZAP within the next week 
that demonstrates how ZAP can be used as a CMS, with all the forms 
already in place so that you can just unzip and play without all that 
tedious mucking about with "snippets."  But don't hold your breath... my 
self-imposed deadlines are usually off by a few weeks!  :-)  --Ben S.
