    I installed phpwiki-1.2.2 last night, using MySQL.  It all works lovely.  Nice job.

    I've got a few quick questions:

    1. Is the latest version (phpwiki-1.3.7) a major improvement, worth getting?

    2. Any ideas or pointers on how to secure access to the entire wiki?  I could use a standard HTAccess method, but is there anything better?

    3. User authentication - possible with phpwiki?  Just to log authors?

    4. My index.php has a title of "FrontPage" - any way of changing this?

    Minor questions, but I hope someone out there has answers.  Loving the ease of use so far.

      1. Is the latest version (phpwiki-1.3.7) a major improvement, worth getting?

      Yes, big improvement.
      No, not worth getting since Not-Stable(TM)!

      I'd run both versions. 2.2 for production and 3.7 as a testbed to see whats next.

      2. Any ideas or pointers on how to secure access to the entire wiki? I could use a standard HTAccess method, but is there anything better?

      The 1.3 tree has many more authentication methods. The methods are currently very complex and we are working on that for 1.3.8 and 1.4

      3. User authentication - possible with phpwiki? Just to log authors?

      In 1.3 again :)

      4. My index.php has a title of "FrontPage" - any way of changing this?

      Not sure about 1.2, but 1.3 has a define called HOME_PAGE that can be set to something like HomePage (default) StartSeite (German), etc.

      My questions to you: Do you frustrate easily? If so, stay with 1.2, else, dicker with 1.3.8 :)

      I might try 1.3.x then!  :)

      One more question - is it easy to migrate content from one version to another?
