Hello, I too am interested in writing modules for Tiki-Wiki that won't break when TW is upgraded. Currently, I am running TW and the Live Chat at on my server (www.webitplanet.com). Unfortunately, I cannot get ordinary user "how-to" information from the TW mailing list much less the technical knowledge needed to write a TW PHP module. I suspect the best avenue to take would be to address the TW project directly at: http://tiki.sourceforge.net or http://tiki-wiki.net. Let me know if you discover any usefull information on how to get started with such a project. Thanks, David Brown.
