Re: [Phpwiki-talk] How usable is the Alpha version

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

Hi Steven,

Sorry you had vandalism problems. Right now the 1.3 branch is alpha,
use-at-your-own-risk. However I find it fairly stable at the moment.

There are no serious problems in the code base at the moment, but there
are larger changes coming so I would recommend using a nightly build as
soon as possible if you take the plunge. We've had it running on dba,
Mysql and Postgresql and it looks OK. There will be small bugs though,
like not being able to delete a page.

Do save a zip file of all the Wiki pages and try to schedule some kind of
backup solution and you should be fine.
