[Phpwiki-talk] Re: PhpWiki (fwd)

[Steve W. <sw...@wc...>]

Ari runs the NBTS Wiki (http://www.nbtsc.org/wiki/); I emailed Ari today
asking about the interesting changes and things, and it appears a tarball
will be available to us soon. Thought you might be interested.

: Hi Ari!
: 
: I love surfing the NBTS Wiki. I was looking today to see how it was doing,
: and I noticed on HeyYouGuysInCharge that the Wiki is taking about 23M now.
: I am guessing that you are running a DBM-based Wiki, and was wondering if
: you periodically rebuild the DBM file? They have a built in memory leak
: and you might be able to save a lot of space.

Mmm, I've not rebuilt it yet; Not an issue, really, and since I'm going to
merge in your PostgreSQL code and use that, I'll just ignore it since
there's plenty of space.

: Also, I don't know if you've followed the development of PhpWiki but it's
: moved to Sourceforge and has come a long way
: (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/). You have a lot of neat improvements
: that I wouldn't mind seeing in PhpWiki's main distribution.

Mmm, yeah. I've made a lot of changes to the rendering engine; I've been
trying to clean the code up for release now. In addition to that, I've
been hyper-modularizing things, so you can just comment out an include
file to turn on and off features; Those features can be anything from Full
HTML rendering, Login functions, ability to have private pages, Limited
subset-of-HTML rendering, standard PhpWiki markup, my modified markup, and
separate images for the logo on each page with a fallback. 

: The soon-to-be 1.2 release will run on your choice of DBM, mSQL,
: MySQL, and Postgresql (it's aleady ported to all of them).

Excellent. I saw the MySQL stuff already (in the 1.14 release, I
think) and was considering switching, but got lazy. 

Thanks for the email, and after I clean up my code, I'll upload a tarfile
for you to pick at and merge into the main release as you like.
