I like dokuwiki quite a lot, and want to use it for the
new page of the linux-ntfs project. Now for several
reasons I would prefer MySQL over file system data
storage, and was quite reliefed to see you encapsulated
almost all read/write functions in io.php (good job!)



Well unfortunately not everything is in this file. There is a lot of file 
access in search.php and some in common.php, too.



I would be willing to rewrite these functions to use
MySQL, but I was wondering if you would then be interested
in including these changes in a future dw release?



Yes, if done right I would be definitively interested.

However I'm not sure how this should be approached in the correct way. 
Accessing a database in an efficient manner is very different to the way of 
doing it on the filesystem...

I'm open for suggestions and patches.

I'd like to add that using a database must be *optional*. One of the biggest reasons my group is using DokuWiki is the fact that it *doesn't* require a database, only a file system. Individual users and groups that have their own 'generic' web page can easily install/use DokuWiki with no additional system access or services today, which helps greatly with its utility.
