Thread:Extension talk:PhpTags/Production level/reply

Hi

I think "production ready" is a little vague definition :-)

I see no reason why it cannot be used in production now. Yes, there are the some lacks and most likely hidden bugs (сan be anything without them?), but generally it is ready for trying use in production.

At this moment main subquality are:
 * insufficient test coverage of exceptions
 * the pages with PhpTags errors are not placing into the category "pages with PhpTags errors"
 * inconvenient to edit the source code, I am deciding this problem with Extension:CodeMirror
 * it can be used for DDoS attacks, restriction public access to expensive functions can helps
 * not all PHP operators are implemented yet
 * almost absent PhpTags compatible extensions that really useful for end users

As you can see, it's all just a matter of time and desire to do it. Since it is a open source project, you can help develop it or just wait while others develop it :-) In any case I am open for cooperation.

The first who was going to use this extension is User:JoelKP. I helped him by writing Extension:PhpTags SMW that is used for accessing SMW data. I hope he will come back and write some review...

I do not use this extension yet, because I need a more flexible and fast alternative to semantic mediawiki and I am going to do it with PhpTags. I also have a lot of ideas related to the user interface. Of course, this requires a lot of effort to develop. I still have the desire and ability to develop it and maybe in the end it will be done.

Best of luck.
