I'm going to do some quite huge changes in
mediawiki and so going
to start a forkoff into phase4.
Some things I've already done:
* rewriting some parts to run over patTemplate
* splitted off the wiki into a (system-wide) library part and
some very little stub for index.php -> allows multiple instances
to share the same code and so ease updates.
What I'm going to do:
* database/storage abstraction (i.e. postgresql backend)
* wiki middleware (for article storage, wiki-syntax parsing, ...)
* support multiple parsers and converters (also xml<->wiki)
* frontend completely patTemplate-based
* integration into contentbuilder2/baseTemplate2 framework
(so the wiki is just a box and can be easily imported into
some other application
awaiting you comments :)
If you're rewriting wiki software, please add gender-dependent
user page names and other messages, so that we don't have to use
male prefix for female users in languages where it matters.

It's not big thing to do if you're starting over, it would just be pretty
difficult to fix it now in existing code.
