-This is the "Phase III" codebase for the Wikipedia project
-(http://www.wikipedia.org). It is possibly usable as a
-general-purpose wiki, but it was not intended as such and
-there is little or no support available for using it as such
-from the developers, who are busy full time supporting the
-Wikipedia project. There are many good general-purpose Wikis
-in the world. I personally recommend UseMod
-(http://www.usemod.com/).

-The code as a whole is Copyright 2002,2003 by
-Lee Daniel Crocker, Magnus Manske, Jan Hidders, Brion Vibber,
-Axel Boldt, Geoffrey T. Dairiki, Tomasz Wegrzanowski, and

-Many thanks to the Wikipedia regulars for testing and
-suggestions.

-The code is currently maintained at Sourceforge under the
-project "wikipedia", module name "phase3". You can view the
-code in CVS, report bugs and make feature requests there:

-
-The code is written in PHP. It was tested mainly on version
-4.06, but it is known to run in later versions. It requires
-MySQL 3.23 or later, and PHP-MySQL. It is now running with
-PHP 4.2.2 and MySQL 3.23.49 at http://www.wikipedia.org .
-The code was written on and for Linux, and no attempt has
-been made to make it portable to other OSs, though it may
-happen to run on some. The math support in particular has
-run-time dependencies on things like TeTeX and GhostScript
-that are generally found in Linux but not other OSs.
