Can you please explain, what the exact problem is? I don't think it is
reasonable to run allso run file writes through FTP. If files are not
writable on the server then DokuWiki is clearly not the right wiki for
that setup. But as I said, usually safemode only creates problems with
with directories.

Yes, I do. Thanks for your concern.

No. We're working with patches here. Either git or unified diff
against a current snapshot. If you want to add the features as you
described them, then you are the one who integrates them, not someone.
Please make yourself familiar with the DokuWiki development process if
you want to contribute (http://www.dokuwiki.org/development).
