Hi,

Hi Enrico, its nice to see that some refreshing new developer effort for the MediaWiki software!

I also would like to use Mediawiki for something non-wikipedian, but there are some bugs that have been holding me back.

Currently the Mediawiki software will not detect and show all changes to a text, and it does not do mark changes consistently. This is very unfortunate since users will be under the impression that when they do a diff they will be shown all changes, while infact some will not be shown and therefore overlooked.

hmm, I'm currently fighting on other frontiers. My wiki setups are normally sitting behind a masquerading firewall. This sometimes makes trouble on redirections (redirect goes to the local host named instead the virtual host name). I've fixed most of them, but some are still unfixed.

I've also splitted off the common wiki code from individual instance stuff in a way, that the wiki code is imported by the actual instance just like a library. Here's a little example:

Directory listing:

drwxr-xr-x 2 subsys/p root 4096 Jul 12 15:33 . drwxr-xr-x 10 subsys/p wwwrun 4096 Jul 12 22:38 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 subsys/p nobody 2382 Jul 12 22:05 LocalSettings.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 40 Jul 12 15:22 _mediawiki_current_ -> /home/subsys/borg/lib/packages/mediawiki lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 26 Jul 12 15:22 images -> _mediawiki_current_/images lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 28 Jul 12 15:22 includes -> _mediawiki_current_/includes -rw-r--r-- 1 subsys/p root 228 Jul 12 22:06 index.php lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 29 Jul 12 15:22 languages -> _mediawiki_current_/languages lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 31 Jul 12 15:22 maintenance -> _mediawiki_current_/maintenance lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 24 Jul 12 15:22 math -> _mediawiki_current_/math lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 31 Jul 12 15:22 stylesheets -> _mediawiki_current_/stylesheets lrwxrwxrwx 1 subsys/p root 29 Jul 12 15:22 templates -> _mediawiki_current_/templates

index.php:

<?php

error_reporting ( E_ALL );

define ( 'MEDIAWIKI_ROOT', '_mediawiki_current_/' ); define ( 'MEDIAWIKI_INSTANCE', './' ); define ( 'MEDIAWIKI_BREAKPOINT', 1 );

require_once ( MEDIAWIKI_ROOT.'includes/common-page.php' );

-------

The changes are not too huge, so I'd suggest we try to get this in the current wiki branch before forking off.
