[Phpwiki-talk] PhpWiki vs. MediaWiki (again)

[Oliver B. <li...@gm...>]

Hi,

maybe I missed something, but MediaWiki seems to have a "never forget 
anything" policy. This bloats the database extremly if pages are 
changed many times. I don't think that I want to have such a 
behaviour if I have to pay for disk space.

The same applies for user accounts. You can't delete them anymore.

Besides the disk space problem (which might be no problem on a 
dedicated server), I expect also some impact on performance.

Any comments?


Is there any comparison in storage efficiency of both candidates? The 
empty PhpWiki database had ~400KB, MediaWiki 1,7MB! But I made no 
tests with content.


Long term support and stability:

Reini wrote 2005-01-05 regarding "Any reasons why somebody _should_ 
switch to MediaWiki": "stability, more users, more developers".

On the other hand, he wrote also 2005-09-26: "...considering that 
mediawiki is a one man show only and brian is not accepting a lot."

This confuses me a bit. Any information about this?
