Pm no longer developing PmWiki? Hello. Pm has been quite busy in real life for the last two years. In January 2009 he gave me an account on his server to allow me to work on the PmWiki website and core, fixing bugs, adding new features, releasing new versions and hopefully keeping the project, the wiki and the community alive. At the same moment version 2.2.0 stable was released. The announcement and the discussion which followed was on the mailing list: http://www.pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users/2009-January/053219.html Patrick hasn't been working daily on the PmWiki core, but he is actively monitoring the current development and is available for advice on specific points or questions that we may have. I'm trying to follow the PmWiki philosophy[1], fix bugs, maintain the documentation and add planned features on which the community has agreed. My personal approach to the PmWiki development is outlined on my profile page: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Profiles/Petko What I did in these 14 months: * released 14 new PmWiki versions with an ambition to publish a new version monthly; most interesting/important changes are PHP 5.3 compatibility fixes and code refactoring, allowing recipes to add new features (eg. pagelists and page history); the log of the changes (since 2.2.1 included) is available here: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ChangeLog * reviewed, completed, updated and corrected all pages of the documentation in English which hadn't been updated since 2006 (3/4 of the pages) and 2007; *big thanks* to those who are helping; the documentation is up-to-date now but it can always be improved, everyone is welcome to edit it and improve it * added "talk pages" in the documentation (on pmwiki.org only) where we can discuss improvements of the documentation or add lengthy instructions, answers to unfrequently asked questions, or other things that shouldn't be in or aren't yet ready for shipping with the core documentation * all translations now have links to the same page in all other languages -- I was hoping this would be useful for translators and ease their work, and that there would be more people helping out (there aren't many... yet) * added "ratings" to the Cookbook -- where users of each recipe started leaving short notes -- these statistics will eventually be very useful to newcomers, helping them choose among the 900+ recipes in the Cookbook; please add your notes too, on the recipes you use, used or reviewed * revamped the PITS issue tracking system into something more usable -- changes to the layout and to the priority ordering rules give us a better overview of what should be addressed "ASAP" or "some day" : http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/PITS * 300+ PITS entries closed/replied/suspended or otherwise edited by me; each newly added PITS entry reviewed in 24 hours to decide about the urgency * 400+ messages sent by me to the mailing lists [pmwiki-users], [pmwiki-devel] and [pmwiki-users-fr], mostly replies to support requests *great thanks* to all of you who reply to questions when you know the answers -- this is really appreciated and a great help (including for me). Sorry that during this time I wasn't able to reply to all questions and to add all features and changes that were requested but I'll continue, as soon as practical and with common sense. Thanks for all your questions, suggestions, bug reports, code snippets, cookbook recipes, user notes, wiki maintainence, participation in the discussions -- all these are helping the project to move forward. Thanks also for your patience and for your trust. :-) Petko ---- [1] http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PmWikiPhilosophy > On 27/2/10 6:38 AM, "Petko Yotov" <5ko at 5ko.fr> wrote: > Hello.

PM no longer developing Pmwiki? I still watch the mailing list, and Petko is very good about checking with me before any "major" changes to the core or discussions relating to overall philosophy. So far I've been extremely pleased with Petko's leadership in PmWiki and I'm truly grateful for his efforts. Over the past year most of my hacking time has been focused on Rakudo Perl 6 (http://perl6.org/ , http://rakudo.org/ ), which I've also been working on for about 5-6 years. We have a major release of Perl 6 coming out this spring, and so I've been working to complete that. Most recently, on March 2nd my wife went into hospital care with a small-bowel obstruction arising from a recurrence of ovarian cancer; all of my time since then has been assisting with her care and taking care of our family. (The short-term and medium-term prognosis for my wife is very good at this point -- we expect her to be discharged from the hospital in the next couple of days.) If things go well, I should be able to refocus more of my energies on PmWiki development in the summer. In the meantime, I'm pleased with the progress and direction Petko is taking, and I'll continue to act in a more "reactive/guidance" role (in response to specific requests) than a "proactive/development" role.
