Safari has responsibility for downloading the exported archive of the 
Wiki to your desktop and triggering the automatic extraction.  I do not 
know why you get a permissions error, but I think that an older version 
of Stuffit had this problem - you may want to look at their site or 
check the permissions on the downloaded file.

I grabbed the DMG archive for Instiki and installed it on my
(Tiger 10.4.2) G5  Power Mac.  I like it a lot, but I've run
into a couple of odd problems:

    *  default location for wiki-textile-2005-09-28-06-31-57.zip

       I tried the Export link and chose "Markup (Textile)" format.
       The file went to my Desktop, which seems like an odd location.
       And, when I looked around for a way to make it go to some
       other location, I didn't find any administrative interface.

       Also, I got a nastygram during the process, saying:

         Archive Utility
         Unable to unarchive "wiki-textile-2005-09-28-06-31-57.zip"
         into "Desktop". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.)

       My guess is that some utility noticed a new zip archive on
       the Desktop and tried to unpack it.  This isn't really what
       I wanted to have happen, but why the nastygram?

    *  Automated backup, log files, etc.

       The documentation appears to indicate that Instiki will save
       images and log-structured sets of commands somewhere as it
       gets used.  Where are these stored?  Is this configurable?
