Jepp, that's true.

That company is indeed sponsoring Sebastian full time working on TIMTAW, 
so there's quite some progress currently ongoing.

Just check your mails (Sebastian sent you some), and you'll be 
up-to-date again.

However, I don't expect the whole thing to be finished any time soon, 
because versioning turned out to be more complicated than we thought at 
first (see my mail "Re: [Typo3-dev] Versioning Fix" 06.03.2005 18:07 and 
Kasper's reply).
The problem is, that if we used TYPO3's regular versioning feature for 
the wiki history, the pages and tt_content table would be enormously 
polluted with all the old records - because in a wiki every old version 
needs to be kept.
MediaWIKI keeps those old version in a separate table, but Kasper's 
versioning feature stores all old versions in the SAME table, which 
results in this table growing huge.

tschüß,
