Hello, I maintain KOB.  A lot of people are unsatisfied with the way
KOB currently handles multiple posts.  It's one of many complaints /
suggestions that I've collected over the past few months.  With summer
here, I should have time to address a lot of these issues.  Right now
though, I've got a few more projects to finish up.

Ideally, I would like to deal away with timestamped page names
altogether.  I think the new features introduced in PmWiki v2.1 should
make this a lot easier.  Failing that, something like what you suggest
would work too.  So to answer your question: yes it can be
implemented.  In fact, I'd like to work on it.  Unfortunately I have a
few projects (due by the end of June) to finish up.
