That wiki was not available from my web host. I agree that there are probably easier wikis to use than MediaWiki. On the other hand, it has power, reliability, popularity, and documentation on its side. Anyone who learns how to use it is in a good position to use many wikis out there, e.g., contributing to WikiPedia -- one of the top sites on the net.

Jamal, you should use ScrewTurn Wiki! I'm sure that's much easier. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jamal Mazrui Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 6:36 AM To: programmingblind Subject: Wiki for collaborative hacking As another step to support collaborative hacking for improving EdSharp and other open source projects, I have created a wiki at http://wiki.EmpowermentZone.com It uses a standard configuration of the MediaWiki software, popularized by Wikipedia, http://wikipedia.org Currently, the best way of learning to use the wiki is by learning how to use the MediaWiki application. A collection of text tutorials on web content management systems, defined broadly, is available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/cms_doc.zip This includes tutorials on MediaWiki, Drupal, PHPMyAdmin, PHPBB, WordPress, and other new media applications. At this point, I have not figured out how to change the default name of "My Wiki" to something more customized! If anyone else can give me a tip on that, or can volunteer to help others become wiki contributors, please let me know. Other documentation collections that have recently been updated include the following: MySQL http://EmpowermentZone.com/mysqldoc.zip PHP http://EmpowermentZone.com/php_doc.zip and PostgreSQL http://EmpowermentZone.com/pgsqldoc.zip To go directly to the wiki page called HackingEdSharp, the URL is http://wiki.empowermentzone.com/index.php?title=Hacking_EdSharp Feel free to create wiki pages or categories on other topics on which you would like to teach or problem-solve together. This is experimental, but since we have talked about sharing by means of a wiki before, I thought I'd put it out there for people to try.! Jamal P.S. I realize that a source code control system would have additional benefits. My web host (HostMonster.com) does not have a simple script for installing such an application (a simple script enabled me to create this wiki). I hope others feel free to create more online resources in a similar spirit of using new media applications to support new or better interactions among us. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
