I have many trouble with setting up phpwiki. I monitored the cvs repository everyday and found there are so little advances in coding improvements.
Such as:
ini_set is disabled on many host provider;
commented putenv will make translations not available under Windows NT/2k;
REQUEST_URI is not supported under IIS;
the FileFinder is ponderous and does not work due to ini_set disabled;
Wiki means quick, but currently that phpwiki seemed to deviated from this road. What we need is better arrangement for a large number of pages, faster text searching. After the meets of our basic requirements, we might consider give it a better looking.
Thanks,
Thanks for all your efforts in developing phpwiki.

There are a lot of different areas where Wiki is being developed and planing is underway to improve it. In the short term, recent CVS commits have been to overhaul the theme and rendering engine, theme work is 99% finished for now.
Jeff has recently been working on a NewTransformation engine (block parsing) which will be a major internal improvement to PhpWiki.
There's also NewWikiMarkup, StructuredText, ProblemsWithLeadingSpaceConvention, PageType, PageGrouping, NewWikiPageNameSemantics.
Feel free to comment at those pages and add your ideas and requests there too.
If you could provide some additional descriptions of the problems you are having we'll try to help.
Also, what kind of "better arrangement for a large number of pages" are you thinking of? (See also http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/PageType, PageGrouping, there may be some ideas there you are interested in)

Great! I found many ideas for solving my problems. On the other hand, I consider that the most important thing is to release a stable and compatible(mostly referred as MS platforms) version.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I am using 1.3.2. Here I am talking the Release 1.4. Someone said that you may wait until a more mature scheme. Now the most important feature, in my opinion, is the new markup Style. I am running a site which aggregated an interesting group. We have started some translations and turorial writings on the topics of C++/Patterns. The wiki method is really helpful on translating. On the other hand, We've found that using the old wiki formatting rule to express C++ code snippets is really burdensome. Additionally, we want to arrange a lot of pages for browsing efficiently - PageGrouping is a good idea, and, might we have a pane for navigation hierarchy(tree)?
I have reviewed a very small piece of the phpwiki code. I think team's refactoring power is really awesome. Therefore, why should we have to wait several months for the next BIG step of phpwiki 1.4?
From my point of view, the priority is:
1. Compatibility - NT/2k environment; php safemode; removing the restricted functions such as putenv, ini_set, etc.
2. New markup syntax - firstly we need not to implement all of them.
3. Optional - PageGrouping, Commenting, etc.

Hi,
There are a lot of different areas where Wiki is being developed and planing is underway to improve it. In the short term, recent CVS commits have been to overhaul the theme and rendering engine, theme work is 99% finished for now.

You can see some other things we have been working on at http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/RecentChanges?days=90&show_all=0, CategoryNextWiki, CategoryNextWikiResearchAndDevelopment, NextWikiSuggestions

Just to make sure you know, there is a stable release. Version 1.2.2.
