Yep. Thanks, Rob, for the offer of help, but if MW needs upgraded PHP/SQL stack, we just have to wait around for SF to get to it.
One other thing to consider is SF now has a hosted wiki option for projects - I'm not sure how easy it'd be to move over, as it's not MW, but it's something to consider if MW isn't working out. Bibdesk's SF-wiki isn't enabled but you can see what it'd be like by checking out http://alexandria.wiki.sourceforge.net/ Personally, I don't like it much, since there's about four inches of crap on top of everything on the SF.net site... But I'm open to suggestions. -mike On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 1:17 PM, Christiaan Hofman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Unfortunately PHP is provided to us by SourceForge, the only thing we can do > is file enhancement requests to upgrade to PHP 5.
