I think there might be some other, more Wiki-specific way of doing mirroring and file sharing. More on this some other time. If changing to PATH_INFO means a Wiki cannot be indexed by a search engine, I would question its worth. Arno, if I read the mails right, some spiders ignore everything after the ? in a URL. That would mean a PhpWiki cannot be indexed since everything after the index page has a question mark... therefore, switching to PATH_INFO would mean a Wiki could be indexed, and that would be a Good Thing since someone doing a search on "hammond organs" would find a lot of the pages in Jeff's Wiki.
