Missing Features

Database storage

Pink Wino stores all of its data in the file system. There is no database support.

Searching

As Pink Wino is designed as a Wiki Component, it make more sense to search the entire web site, rather than just the wiki text. For this reason, it doesn't include a search engine. In other wiki engines, the search engine also provides the facility to get referrers, and also the list of non-existent pages. I'd like these two features, and for that reason, I may include a search engine soon.

Caching

All wiki pages are read and parsed each time they are requested, no caching takes place. This only acceptable for low usage web sites.

No "diff"

There is currently no way to compare versions of a page. Also no "revert to this version" feature.

No Meta Data

Unlike WikiMedia, there is no way to give meta information about what was changed in a given version. Also, no information is stored about who edited a page.

Security

Currently there is not much infrastructure around the basic security system. For example, there is currently no way for a registered user to change their password. There is no way to register on-line. All changes to the authentication must be done manually, without any help from the web front-end.

The acls are binary - either a user can edit a page, or they can't. There isn't separate acls for different tasks (view, edit, delete etc).

Footnotes

No wiki syntax to create footnotes.
