Of course like said before, this is a huuuuge task, so it won't be ready anytime soon, and hasn't been started as of now, more thought has to be put into it, and what the wiki should be capable of and etc. i.e. planing. Any ideas for this people ? :) Every idea will be considered so don't be shy! ;)

I have volunteered in the past, and will continue to do so on a standing basis, to set up a YaWiki <http://yawiki.com> installation for pear.php.net. It's all PEAR all the time, except for using Savant <http://phpsavant.com> as its template system and Yawp <http://phpyawp.com> as its foundation, so I hope that's not a deal-breaker. I did some work with Tobias Schlitt to get it up on a test machine, but there have been some problems with that box. As regards a YaWiki installation, my own opinion is that each PEAR package would get its own area. That results in a lot of areas, which means the default theme would not be useful; as such, it would need a modified theme for displaying all the various areas. Not hard in a technical sense, but perhaps non-trivial from an organization and display perspective. Authentication would be nice, but not required, if only so we can know who is doing what with documentation. So again: this is me volunteering to get a YaWiki installation going on pear.php.net. -- Paul M.
