[Pmwiki-users] Call For Directory Simplicity

[Andres Yver]

Patrick,
The local directory is well named. It's the local.php file which seems 
to me to be better named config.php, since that is what it does, it 
configures your wiki. You had suggested shipping a sampleconfig.php at 
the root level with instructions to copy it to local/config.php. That 
makes a lot of sense.
Others had mentioned the typical unix directories for configs, but i'm 
willing to bet that _most_ future wikians won't come from a strong unix 
background, so those names might to them be meaningless.
The scripts directory also has a non-intuitive name for the layman. 
What do they know about scripts? They just want the product to work out 
of the box and then to be able to make mods as their knowledge 
increases. I suggest something like utilities, which is what to my 
newbie eyes, it contains.
cheers,
Andres
