I'm going to do some quite huge changes in mediawiki and so going to start a forkoff into phase4.
Some things I've already done:
- rewriting some parts to run over patTemplate
- splitted off the wiki into a (system-wide) library part and some very little stub for index.php -> allows multiple instances to share the same code and so ease updates.
What I'm going to do:
- database/storage abstraction (i.e. postgresql backend)
- wiki middleware (for article storage, wiki-syntax parsing, ...)
- support multiple parsers and converters (also xml<->wiki)
- frontend completely patTemplate-based
- integration into contentbuilder2/baseTemplate2 framework (so the wiki is just a box and can be easily imported into some other application
awaiting you comments :)
If you're rewriting wiki software, please add gender-dependent user page names and other messages, so that we don't have to use male prefix for female users in languages where it matters. (Wikipedysta: Wikipedystka:)
It's not big thing to do if you're starting over, it would just be pretty difficult to fix it now in existing code.
