[pmwiki-users] Why all this zapping?

On http://www.fast.st/zapbeta/index.php?n=Support-Engine/HomePage one 
can read that a "ZAPWIKI" is "coming soon"! The site tells that 
"ZAPWIKI" is "/not designed to be a replacement for PmWiki/". Is it to 
become a "lean competitor" to PmWiki, or what is the purpose of this new 
wiki software?

In the Cookbook, you find that  "ZAP" is now called "Acme", for some 
reason (see above?). There are still some "pure ZAP" pages, such as ZAP 
Business Directory (which btw doesn't at all fits the Cookbook 
structure).  Will "Acme" develop independently of "ZAP", or will it be 
the "PmWiki version" of "ZAP" in "ZAPWIKI"?

The above situation is confusing (as is e.g the Hg vs Cluster case). 
PmWiki is a powerful and stable web site engine, with a huge set of 
useful extensions. It's a pity if confusion would be created about its 
future.
