Hi all I have to agree. I started using pmwiki in Sept. of last yr and I am still tweaking it. It would be nice to have a so called 'prebundled' pmwiki. It would have saved me loads of time.
I have tried various recipes they work, they don't so well, I need to remove the recipes try another or contact the author and so it goes on. Having said that I can see that there is a need for the pmwiki as it stands. I suppose the problem is who will do it and support it. If you have a pre-packaged bundle when upgrades come so too the necessary upgrade of the bundle.
