There may well be another release or two before Monday, so don't feel you have to upgrade right away.
From Changes:
Added method to allow admins to delete nodes. You will need to explicitly enable this option in your wiki.conf, since it brings with it the risk of accidental data loss. Major overhaul of templates - added numerous style hooks. See examples/ for two stylesheet designs that take advantage of these. Added new banner template for page headers. Also ensured presence of navigation bar is consistent. *** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: *** The navbar class in the stylesheet has been renamed to, unsurprisingly, "navbar", for consistency (from "toolbar"). *** YOU WILL NEED TO REWRITE YOUR STYLESHEET. *** You are advised to create a duplicate wiki.cgi that reads its data from your database but its stylesheet and templates from the new ones in order to test them *before* deploying them. Added "FAQ", "How To Get Started" and "Wiki Etiquette" to the navigation, under "Help" - these won't exist unless you create them on your site, so at first the links serve as examples of documentation you can provide. Modified preferences.cgi so that all the help links in the navbar can be hidden, not just the text formatting link. Fixed some HTML validation bugs. Added multiple install and pretty URL notes to INSTALL. Removed pubcrawl stuff from distro for now - it doesn't really work. Changed to use CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Diff instead of OpenGuides::Diff.

Hi,
as part of getting OpenGuides used in local government, I've added a file attachment feature. Currently only supported by the CGI::Wiki::Store::Pg backend though, as i'm not familiar with BLOBs in MySQL or SQLLite.
I did it against 0.29 though, so I guess I'm going to have to patch it into .30 now instead. Oh well, shouldn't be too hard. I guess I should have paid more attention to this list this month.
Would you be interested in merging this feature into the main tree? If so, I'll add some config options to make it optional instead of always-on, and tidy up my code some. A lot of the changes are actually part of CGI::Wiki or CGI::Wiki::Store::Pg, rather than the OpenGuides modules, but I presume they are discussed here too.
Cheers,
Toby

Shiny. What are you using it for?

Yes.
I have not been well for a little while and am currently off work sick. So not much is getting done at the moment.

The wiki: simplified self-published & content management/revision control. There's a council-wide CMS as well, but it's so slow, clunky and generally crap that people wanted an alternative for manageing lots of related pages of information. Metadata about opening hours and locations isn't used, but instead categories like "Freedom of information", "data protection" and so forth have sprung up.
The file upload feature: Sometimes scanned documents, photos, word documents or PDFs need to be attached for some reason or other, and aren't suitable to be cut-and-pasted.
Would you be interested in merging this feature into the main tree?
Yes.
Cool. Would you prefer me to send a patch against the .30 tree, or should i commit to a fresh branch of CVS comewhere?

Hope you get well soon,
