Whats about the future of phpwiki? There are lot of bugs and issus which can bring a server to death which shuld be fixed or changed. Lot of the admin pages every user can open slows down the server until you have to reboot it. Every user who searches for admin or wiki can find this pages. The access management is really not usable. I never find out - how to make pages accessible/viewable only for a couple of people. How to make moderators, second admins etc. It is much to difficult to use at all. The datadesign of the mysql backend is really slow and could be much better. When i look at our forum which is more difficult, has more functions but it is also much much faster. There a really a lot more bugs and problems, to much to tell them all in this mail. I'am again looking for an other wiki to migrate, but there are also some plugins etc. i would'nt miss. Don't missunderstand me, i like this wiki very much but is there really a future? I think there are to much bugs to solve and backends to support for only one person which is really buisy too. Regards Stefan |

I agree with you in a way, but this is really more of a comment than a question, true? I mean, if 3 people said, "No, it has a future!", would that help? Or if everyone said, "It has no future!", how does that help? The future is what we make ourselves. If enough programmers love PhpWiki, it will survive. Otherwise not. Dan |

Yes it is a comment, thats right. But this comment shows if there are=20 more developpers and people which are allready interested in phpwiki. The challange is that the community of our web site growth and growth=20 and we need some features to work rock solid. Performance is also a=20 problem. I can look forward at this point, when i have to decide which=20 direction i have to go. It is really a hard decission to change but if i=20 can't see any light what should i do. We spend a lot of man-year for our=20 project and we can't let it die only because the software isn't=20 supported any more. We would spend some money for developpment but we=20 can only spend some 100=A4 and nobody can solve the problems for this=20 amount. Some smaler problems i have solved by my own but now i have a=20 propriatary system which no one can support except me. I know reini is a=20 very good developper and has spend much of his sweat to make it further.=20 But he is a lonly fighter and does not have the time to follow all the=20 intrests. I think we have one of the biggest phpwiki installations on net so we do=20 have problems and needs the most others don't have. MediaWiki seems to be well supported. Are there any converters from=20 phpwiki to MediaWiki?

At the beginning of my privat phpwikiproject i like to switch, but there is (for me) no way. There was a little converter but after this you have to touch every site due to some problems. Regards |
