Re: [Phpwiki-talk] stable release

[Aristedes M. <ar...@is...>]

OK. That is good to know. I am not running Debian, but is there a 1.3.7 
tar somewhere or is it only possible to fetch that version out of CVS?

I've had a couple of private responses already to say that hopefully a 
stable version of phpwiki will be focussed on in the future, rather 
than continually adding new features at every point release. It is 
certainly my experience that as an open source project becomes more 
mature, development becomes structured and new features released 
separately to bug fixes.

I am certainly new to this project's development cycle, but it concerns 
me that 1.3.11 will be adding 'buddy ratings" (see here 
http://www.wikilens.org/index.php/Restaurant). It seems like phpwiki is 
turning into yet another CMS. Really I just wanted a wiki that works 
well and if 1.3.11 adds another feature that needs further 
debugging....

Does anyone have experience of any other wikis which are focussed on 
just the wiki aspect? We'd like to use this system for internal office 
and processes documentation. We have a little experience in Drupal, but 
that seems too complex for this relatively simple need.

Obviously the programmers of this project are doing a great job, but it 
might just be that their goals are not what I need to achieve.
