[Phpwebsite-developers] porting twiki into php

[Robb D. <rdo...@ya...>]

I've been following recent discussion of wikiwikiwiki and it got me investigating the subject more.
I've found a perl based program that would be great to "port to" a phpWebsite module. In the Open Source community it is a "wiki standard of sorts" which has attracted development and usage from private major corporations.
TWikiTM - A Web Based Collaboration Platform
http://twiki.org/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/twiki

What do you think about the prospect for these functions to be translated into PHP?

Eloi,
Wikipedia is an extreme example. Most Wiki sites use them for FAQ,
HOWTO, quick-start document, etc. collaboration. Larger documents (e.g.
guides) still use DocBook SGML/XML.

Great. :-)

The phpwiki project has php pear abstracted port of wikiwikiweb. Maybe
their source would help you.

PhpWiki source
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpwiki/phpwiki/

PhpWiki 1.3 branch demo

Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer the questions
above. I'm not a programmer. I'm barely useful as a project admin. :-(
