Some projects rarely release Stable versions and they're sometimes radically outdated -- "normal" people generally run the Unstable version.
Other projects stick to a different definition -- Stable is what "normal" people work with and the Unstable version is very cutting edge, for developers only, and often contains bugs you would not dare to run with in a production environment.
My question: Where does PhpWiki fall? Do people normally run the 1.2/Stable version or the 1.3 version on a typical Internet-exposed web site?

Well, 1.3.11p1 is not really stable.
It's the cutting edge with all features enabled, with only a small number of known bugs and problems.
Most users run 1.3.x phpwiki's.
Really stable is only the 1.2.x tree, because there nothing will change. It has no fancy bells and whistles. And is typically 5 year old code.

This question isn't as silly as it seems (IMHO).

We used to be in the "stable" means stable camp, but over time if you don't get to a new stable release then "stable" starts to mean old.
I'd call our 1.3.11p1 release "stable".
