I have some plans for a Wiki and was intending to worj off a base of
PHPWiki:

  -- PHPLib based authentication.
  -- Moving DB access under PHPLib
  -- Editing and page creation only by people with accounts.
  -- Concept if "groups of users" ala Unix groups
  -- Concept of a page "belonging" to a user.
  -- Concept of that user granting edit rights to a named group.
  -- Ability for a user to transfer ownership (and therefore rights) 
     of a page from himself to another user.
  -- Ability to show an index of all the Wiki pages belonging to a
     particular user or group ("Owner Indexes").
  -- Page histories with prior versions view available (encluding
     ownership changes).
  -- Inter-version colourised diff-style views available of edited pages
  -- Ability for a Wiki page to be attached/associated with another
     Wiki Page in the manner of a comment on the parent Wiki page.
     Such Wiki Comment Pages, as they are not stand-alone pages in
     their own right would be auto-named ala <UserID>.<Some_#> or such.
  -- Ability for such "comments" to be threaded and the entire
     thread tree to be displayed on a single page with indent-stlye
     threading.
  -- Ability for a Wiki page to be "attached" to a non-Wiki page (eg
     local site URL).  Also, by extention, for Wiki threads to be so 
     rooted on URLs.
  -- Ability for a Wiki page to reference (special tag format) other
     Wiki pages or Wiki Comments in a page such that the contents of
     the referenced page are displayed in-line (perhaps via TreeDoc
     (http://www.softky.com/TreeDoc/)).  ("In-place Wiki")
  -- Ability to link from a Wiki link in an In-place Wiki or Owner
     Index to the original context of that Wiki Page/Cpomment (eg the
     original comment-thread)
  -- Careful use of indexes and Meta-robots such that such Wiki
     networks are correctly search engine indexable.

I'd like to work with, or at least not against, the PHPWiki team in
this.  Does any of the above directly conflict with the PHPWiki
team's plans for PHPWiki?
