YaWiki PHP is a powerful Wiki system for collaborative document generation.

It supports both anonymous and authenticated users.

It uses an AreaMap page to generate a hierarchy of pages and navigational elements.

It supports page-level access control lists.

There is an optional comment system built-in, as well as RSS feeds for individual public pages.

Here are some key features of "YaWiki PHP":
Uses the Yawp foundation for PHP applications.
Built from PEAR and PEAR-compliant objects such as...
Savant
Text_Diff
Text_Wiki
Database abstracted with DB_Table; works on most anything from MySQL to Oracle, and self-installs the database tables
RSS feeds for page content changes (all pages in all areas, all pages in one area, or one page in one area)
Has a special AreaMap page that lets you define a page hierarchy for navigation elements
Supports separate name spaces (called "areas") in one installation
Supports anonymous users and user authentication
An access control list that lets the wiki administrator control who can edit and view individual pages in each area
A comment system for users who are not allowed to edit pages directly
Theme-aware (build your own look and feel) using the Savant template system

Requirements:
Yawp -- http://phpyawp.com/
Savant2 -- http://phpsavant.com/
Text_Wiki -- http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Wiki
Text_Diff -- http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Diff

What's New in This Release:
Schema Change: Added a column to yacs. Run the "docs/MIGRATE_021_022" SQL code against your database, otherwise comments won't post proeprly.
Now requires Savant 2.4.0, as the default theme templates make extensive use of Savant2::_() to help automate output escaping.
Fixed bug in search template noted by David Coallier and reported by Davey Shafik. Thanks, guys.
Comment submission now redirects to the same page as the comment was posted on; previously, overzealous application of htmlspecialchars() interfered with proper redirection, sending the commenter to the HomePage for the area.
Comment submission now captures the commenter's IP number.
Comments are now deletable by the page administrator, not just the area administrator.
