[Phpwiki-talk] Features to do base on phpwiki

[Samphan R. <sa...@th...>]

Hi,

We use wiki to collarboratively build documents about
the free software philosophy and open-source development
model. After a short period of test drive, we find that
improvement need to be done to match our requirements.

- two views :
	- public (static web)
	e.g. http://opensource.thai.net/pub.php/OpenSourceDefinition
	- wiki
	e.g. http://opensource.thai.net/wiki.php/OpenSourceDefinition
- three level of users
	- anonymous (can read and discuss)
	- user (can also edit)
	- moderator (can select a wiki page to public)

This is a departure from the wiki philosophy but we need it
because we have to make documents that can be referenced
from the public (e.g. the Thai translation of GPL) and
also let anyone asks (what clause #1 mean?) and discusses
(clause #1 traslation is misleading).

We think that we need to implement the folowing :-
- user authentication, thru phpnuke, which is elsed elsewhere on
   the same website
- link wiki pages with phpnuke's News module to allow easy threaded
   discussions w/o wiki editing knowledge
- UI for moderation, e.g. a button that flag that this version is
   moderated so pub.php will show it
- pub.php to show only the latest moderated version of any page

Any advice?
