Hi David!
>If anyone has a specific starting point to suggest to begin my quest
please feel free to make suggestions!!!
If you already know programminglanguages like C, php is straight
forward and very well dokumented .
php has really a lot of functions like:
http://ch2.php.net/get_html_translation_table (it's difficulut to get
an overview)
pmwiki works extensively with regular expressions (for me difficult to
underständ).
and it needs some time to "feel" the logic of pmwiki. (I don's think
it's dokumentet from developers View) .
I think, it's important to know the basics of php. Then come the basic
functions of pmwiki
I guess, it would be a good exercise to try to adapt the guestbook or
make a own extention (to any php based product, because there are
really many).
If I could adapt the Guestbook, let's say in an hour, I would have done
it already. It's not because it's extremly difficult, but as you know as
a programmer, it's difficult to find errors like that, particullarly I
the pmwiki logic is not quite clear :-)
When I'm programming, I always use a routine TestLog(string) , which I
place in farmconfig.php, so there is a possibility to write to a logfile
(I didn't find a nativ possibility to do so that time, but there is
alsways a danger to write a test feature, that already exists:-)
If you really also want to get into pmwiki, we could try to establsih a
documentation for developers view, may be other people would be
interested, too.

Patrick O.
