Hello We are the daimonin mmorpg project: http://www.daimonin.net We use phpWiki as our main documentation & information central of our postnuke site. I have to say that we are very happy with that solution and its a great success. Thank you guys! The only negative point is, that we can't use the original phpWiki but a modified version which used the postnuke user permission interface. When you look at the site and you understand what we do you will see how incredible useful the permission system is. We give access to several parts of the website include site sub-admins, gallery album owners, file system upload permission, forum permission, forum moderator permission and at last write access to the wiki. Thats only (and really only, our old website had it not, so we know where we talk about) possible with one central permission and group system which gave us the Postnuke CMS. As a game (with much underage users), we need a stable & secure permission system. A free wiki access is no option. In the old website we had deleting and vandalism of pages every few hours. With the new webpage, we had not a single issue. When you look at the phpWiki of our site, you will notice how good it fits in the CMS and how useful it is. What i fear is, that someone find a exploit in the hacked phpWiki. Its not active in development anymore and it has still issues. Has the phpWiki community ever thought about to add a native postnuke interface? Postnuke lakes a native wiki. It has a very easy to use interface which allows it to bind in modules. Also, the changes would be normally not so hard - just a redirect to the postnuke permission system. Nearly all other parts from phpWiki fits in fine. It would be a win/win solution for both projects. Postnuke would get a stable, tested & working wiki. phpWiki would get a incredible boost in users and, i can ensure it as a open source project leader for years now, alot more developer. Both project would gain ALOT for a little work. They would stay independed as projects but would gain through the Synergy effect of the interface both a big boost. Michael Toennies Daimonin MMORPG |
