    OK, I've just gone throught something similar for a one user blog, but
    it should scale reasonably well, especially if blosxom (perl version)
    can be set up to use mod_perl.

    So get blosxom running.

    Then install the wikieditish[1] plugin. Now you can make new posts by
    going to an existing node eg
    http://example.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/existent.wikieditish to edit it
    or to edit a new node
    http://example.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/non-existent.wikieditish

    With a bit of modifying of the templates you should be able to get "edit
    this page links" at the bottom of each post, and a little form in the
    page header or footer for the name of a new node that will take you to a
    new post which will essentially take you to the page
    http://example.com/cgi-bin/blosxom/page-name-I-typed-into-the-form.wikieditish.

    Of course, everything I've written here is completely untested apart
    from the initial installation of blosxom and configuring the wikieditish
    plugin so caveat emptor etc.
