The "newcodebase" directory in CVS now contains the codebase I've been working on. The structure is complete and the basic functions of user logins, page viewing, and editing are filled in. Filling in the rest should be a pretty straightforward case of fleshing out functions that are already in place with modified code from the old codebase. It looks like it will fix a lot of problems, and it's a real miser on database accesses.

Both codebases are running on my server (the old code is at http://www.piclab.com/wiki/wiki.phtml, and the new code is at http://www.piclab.com/newwiki/wiki.phtml, each with a March dump of the Wikipedia database). I'd again like to stress that coders can use that for testing before installation.
