[Wiser-U blog] Glifpix : a new interface based on Mediawiki ”” Wiser-U blog: It is just above the text, it is simple and really useful, because at a glance, you can quickly notice if a topic you peruse is contentious or not. The text area (2) is pleasant to browse and the icons actions (3) at the left are here to help you to improve your reading (for instance you can annotate to suggest a correction, add a comment, share the article, evaluate what you read, import the text into a PDF format, or increase/decrease the size of the letters).

[Open NASA] Open NASA » Wiki Design: from Toasters to Spaceships: They will store your content (sometimes with a fee, like in Picasa web albums,) but YouTube, which they acquired, is the only place where there is a significant amount of free storage that is given high bandwidth to distribute to the public at large. Remember that Google Video, their own solution to online video sharing before they aquired YouTube, did not allow you to upload content for the masses.

[//SEIBERT/MEDIA Weblog] Wikis are the glue holding Intranets together | //SEIBERT/MEDIA Weblog: This container is, however, only full at first glance, because between the stones there is still space and the volume of the container (potential) is not yet being fully utilized. These spaces can be understood as the functions that an Intranet can currently fill only through roundabout methods, or shouldn’t even try to fill, because for this need there are expensive applications and equally expensive administrators (and their equally expensive billable time) - particularly for content creation and management.

[AdulauWikiDiary: RecentChanges] AdulauWikiDiary: 2007-11-10 Dreaming Of Mediawiki Using GIT: Mediawiki strongly rely on the LAMP concept with a special emphasis on MySQL and the Structured Query Language (SQL) for the storage of the wiki content. At a first glance, it looks very difficult to move away from such centralized .

[Scripting News] MediaWiki API (Scripting News): Well, thanks to Andrew Burton I got access to a MediaWiki installation with the API turned on, and I was able to make a couple of trivial calls successfully, but I hit a wall when it came to doing the thing I set out to do. I have no doubt from reading the docs that it's possible, I just can't figure out what the dance is. 

[I'd Rather Be Writing - Tom Johnson] Installing Mediawiki Is Much Easier Than The Instructions Suggest ...: I just wanted to note the steps I went through because the installation instructions on Mediawiki looked intimidating when they really aren’t. To be honest, I thought I could describe the installation steps in about 10 minutes, but I now see that it was a little more complicated than I originally thought.

[EdTech Notes] MediaWiki with eDirectory Authentication « EdTech Notes: Written in PHP. I am not very crazy about the desing and look of this software, but since it sort of looks like Wikipedia, our staff may be familiar enough with it.

[Slashgeo] Slashgeo | WikiMiniAtlas for MediaWiki: Use of Geo allows parsing tools (for example other websites, or Firefox's Operator extension) to extract the locations, and display them using some other website or mapping tool, or to load them into a GPS device, index or aggregate them, or convert them into an alternative format.

[Twitter Fan Wiki] Twitter Fan Wiki / Bots: @MashedNews - Mashing up news articles using the Markov chain, Mashed News delivers you the day's events so that you might understand them at a glance (or maybe not). @AmboCarta - Posts a "daily inspiration card" from one of 18 card decks on www.AmboCarta.com.

[Robin Good's Latest News] Best Wiki Tools And Services: Sharewood Guide: This site, although a bit of an eye sore, provides a list of wiki related links that you can jump to. There are no reviews here, but to make up for that it lists not only links to wiki platforms, but also links to books, blog articles, screencasts, and wiki communities that will be helpful to learning how to take full advantage of your wiki, no matter which platform you choose.

[Walt at Random] Walt, Even Randomer » Blog Archive » Wikis, authorship and ...: the wiki philosophy, if a necessary part of that philosophy is that collaborative writing is always better than individual/signed writing, I’d suggest that a hybrid platform is the perfect chance to prove that: If it’s true, then the unsigned pages will consistently be better (more interesting, more readable, more valuable) than the signed ones. I must admit that I find that highly unlikely.

[Terminally Incoherent] The problem with Wikis « Terminally Incoherent: Textile on the other hand lends toward HTML like complexity in some places. So when I’m picking a wiki that is to be used by non-technical folks I usually tend to gravitate towards MediaWiki/Markdown like syntax - since they probably won’t be able to fully utilize all the attribute magic embedded in Textile.

[Musings from Mars] Musings from Mars » Web-Based Collaborative Editing: Twiki, Tiddly ...: In fact, the author has incorporated at least one of the features I requested after my initial configuration–namely, the ability to define a “root” page that could be ACL-protected against accidental damage. This was kind of important to give my customers the necessary comfort level to know that their part of the tree wouldn’t be uprooted someday, either advertently or inadvertently.
