? Apache/PHP/Firebird on any OS
4 years ago NONE of the CMS packages supported Firebird out of the
box, so I spent months tidying up 'tikiwiki' only to find that it's
structure was useless for expansion, and then I found a group had
already split off to form tikipro - which had to be renamed bitweaver
after complaints from the tikiwiki project. bitweaver will allow you
to take a module and re-egineer it for your own use without breaking
any of the rest of the framework - or write a new function and install
it into a working site! Just need to get the email handling completed
for a replacement to yahoo for forum/lists :)

AS I SAID - NO PROBLEM SWITCHING THE CURRENT FORMAT TO tikiwiki or
mediawiki, which ever you want. In fact there is no problem running
BOTH wiki and html, but when we first set things up, the problem of
including {code source=SQL /} segments into a wiki format gave
problems so the decision was that just html was better. BOTH were run
for a while and I still have the wiki format pages for the SQL
reference if needed ;)

After three years I've just got used to fckeditor and tinymce and need
to use it to include Paypal buttons on my 'wiki' pages sort of
prevents mixing with other page formats.
