Well, well. Sourceforge is really on the cutting edge I see. They might be interested to know that php.net discontinued support for PHP4 at the end of 2007. That might have something to do with the fact that PHP5 had its first stable release in July, 2004, five months before the last time SF.net updated their instance of PHP4. I understand that upgrading PHP across the board in SF.net would probably be a daunting task, but for crying out loud their current version is way out of date, filled with bugs that were long ago fixed (even in PHP4), and not even in the currently supported version number.
Having never dealt with SF.net myself, I naively think of these issues as being important enough to inspire action, but I can see from the tenor of the comments thus far that such inspiration is unlikely. Sadly, I cannot think of another place where one could host a Mediawiki instance at no cost. Cheers, Rob On May 13, 2008, at 2:44 PM, Adam R.
