[pmwiki-users] Recipe Redundency... problems?

Speaking as a user, and somebody that's poked around (though not in
the past month) within JITS -- the two recipes are quite different.
JITS is not a "re-hash" of PITS, but a different approach to the
problem.

As Jiri said -- JITS was designed to be wiki-resident. With the
exception of the ZAP requirements (and Zap's AuthUser requirement)),
the JITS code is only wiki pages (with zap markup). This mean those
with edit privileges do not have to work with config & other php
files, etc. to customize their installation. Plus, when JITS upgrades
their customizations will remain intact.

The Cookbook has several instances of multiple approaches. This is
redundancy in the best sense -- multiple solutions from multiple
perspectives, so the user can pick the best match for their particular
needs.

I don't believe there was ever a JITS version that did NOT require ZAP.
