I have a small remark to Oliver's post, but first I want to say that I was plesantly surprised when I read your thoughts about the future of PmWiki -- and Pm's announcment of PmWiki 2.2.0. Reading all those posts in this thread reassured me about the viability of PmWiki and its community.

Indeed I asked (twice IIRC) for an update of the German documentation. But as it was pretty obvious that Pm had a turbulent year 2008 I (or someone else from the community) could have been more insisting. Actually I thought about packaging the German documentation pages for myself -- and sending them to Pm or putting them somewhere on pmwiki.org. If I'm not mistaken, it would be not to difficult to do the following (via a small script): 1. Get a list of the pages in group PmWikiDe (with a fitting pagelist or search) 2. Parse the result and read the source of the relevant pages with wget (or something like that) and ?action=source 3. Create responding files according to http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageFileFormat 4. Bundle those files and send them to Pm or upload them at pmwiki.org Maybe this could be an idea for the future? I guess neither Pm nor Petko will know about the status of documentation in various languages. If there are persons or groups of persons who work on some languages, they could decide when its time to update the relevant i18n-archives, run the mentioned script (yet to be written) and send the resulting archive file to Petko.
