The purpose of this extension is to create a new database subclass which allows a MediaWiki to work from an SQLite database instead of MySQL. MySQL is good for large centralised sites serving many clients, but we'd like MediaWiki to be able to run on small local systems such as iPods or iPhones. MySQL is the main obstacle preventing us from creating a light-weight MediaWiki install which would also be a big step towards our Peerpedia idea.

Installation

To install SQLite on a Debian based system, use apt-get install php5-sqlite.
