Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

portable WinCDEmu

Hi I love this site and use many of the programs listed here.

Anyway I realise there is already a program of this type i.e. "Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel" however I believe WinCDEmu would be better.

I found this on their website indicating that

"WinCDEmu includes a kernel driver for virtual CD bus. Without having the driver installed, no machine will be able to mount the images. Installing the driver every time for the image and uninstalling afterwards would cause ~30sec. delays for every image, that is not feasible."

Can MediaWiki become portable?

Pardon my ignorance on this issue, I'm a techie novice. I see on this page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_on_MoWeS_Portable_%28Win...
that MoWeS Portable includes MediaWiki which can be run from a stick. And I see that someone here at PortableApps installed Portable XAMPP Lite and MediaWiki, but it's not clear to me if this can integrate fully with PortableApps. Seems like if it were that simple, it would be listed on the page of portable apps.
