phpwiki-talk

[Micki K. <mic...@co...>]

I'm also running a large internal phpwiki site, with full document 
production - see 
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/PhpWikiToDocBookAndPDF

Would love to see the current phpwiki branch thicken out a bit with a 
1.3.5 release!

My big requests - well-groomed implementation of db-based 
authentication, a 'page template'-style selector a la Michael Van 
Dam's mod, page variables (for auto anchor naming, etc.), and 
automatic html Table of Contents when desired (%%TOC%%) by 
sectionhead a la dbwiki.

Even without such wishes, we've got a very vibrant program in phpwiki!
