AuthUser (vs. UserAuth*) is one example where I'm afraid that a
rating system wouldn't help very much. You have to go through the

I can understand this decision if they needed some kind of user auth.
DokuWiki comes "out of the box" with a well documented, working user
authentication, self registration with email verification. No effort
to get it running. With PmWiki, it's rather hard to solve for the
beginner.
