| | 4 | +This is a new codebase that attempts to reproduce (more or less |
| | 5 | +exactly, modulo some bugs and some things I don't like) the |
| | 6 | +functionality of Magnus Manske's PHP Wikipedia software. I've |
| | 7 | +stolen a lot of Magnus and Brion's code, and nearly all of their |
| | 8 | +database structure and output design, changing only those things |
| | 9 | +I thought needed fixing (namepsaces are in a separate database |
| | 10 | +field, for example, and I made the stylesheets external). |
| | 11 | + |
| | 12 | +This new codebase, however, should be much easier to test, debug, |
| | 13 | +enchance, and customize. My primary motivation, in fact, is |
| | 14 | +wanting to have this software for my own site, and not being |
| | 15 | +happy with either the limited functionality of UseMod or the |
| | 16 | +incomprehensible code of the existing PHP stuff. |
| | 17 | + |
| | 18 | +In its present state, it is minimally functional, and will do |
| | 19 | +only the basic Wiki view pages and edit pages, and user logins. |
| | 20 | +It has hooks for future internationalization, but no other |
| | 21 | +languages are currently ported. |
| | 22 | + |
| | 23 | +You'll need to convert the database before you run it as well. |
| | 24 | +There's a running installation on piclab.com/newwiki, and I can |
| | 25 | +be talked into giving accounts there, though I think it should |
| | 26 | +be possible to get this running on SourceForge as well. |
