Design Notes

Here are some of the features and notes about Pm Wiki's design decisions. Many of these derive directly from the PmWikiPhilosophy and lots of discussion on the mailing lists.

• PmWiki:FlatFileAdvantages - why Pm Wiki uses flat files to store pages instead of an SQL database
• PmWiki:HierarchicalGroups - why Pm Wiki doesn't support nested groups
• PmWiki:PageLocking - how Pm Wiki works without locking pages (see also simultaneous edits)
• PmWiki:SearchImprovements - why Pm Wiki has a native search engine
• PmWiki:FilePermissions - some information about Pm Wiki's file permission settings
