Hi all,
This list seems to have become idle. Have people stopped using MediaWiki in enterprises? :-)
I've noticed that a lot of work has been done recently on an "industrialization guide":
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Industrialization_guide
I think pages like this are really useful. Over the past few years I've discovered extensions in a piecemeal fashion.... stumbling across LDAP Authentication or SimpleSecurity or Semantic Mediawiki/Forms, and wishing I had found them sooner. To have a single page targeted at enterprise use definitely makes things easier. However, I think we can go one better.....
Why not a MediaWiki package/distribution targeted at enterprise use? It would include:
* MediaWiki * Extensions that are useful for enterprise use * A default configuration suitable for enterprise use
If this is already being done please point me in that direction.
Dave.
Hi David -
The omCollab project provides a platform for enterprise collaboration and uses MediaWiki as the wiki component. http://mike2.openmethodology.org/wiki/OmCollab We don't change the core code and we stay true to the extension based architecture.
It has been implemented in the enterprise at a few organizations and also supports projects at http://www.openmethodology.org/ http://www.openmethodology.org/%20and http://www.open-sustainability.org/
All the code is free and open source and we've a reasonably active development community and roadmap. This project was iniitatially started by BearingPoint but is now run by the MIKE2.0 Governance Association. http://mike2.openmethodology.org/wiki/OmCollab_deployment_in_BearingPoint_IM...
The code is here and since we recently got funding, we've really picked up the pace for development: http://mike2.openmethodology.org/wiki/Installing_omCollab http://waterloo.openmethodology.org/trac/omcollab http://waterloo.openmethodology.org/trac/omcollab/wiki
Hope this helps and we could always use help from people in this community oureselves!

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the info. The omCollab project looks really interesting. I'm not sure that it is exactly what I'm after, however. For example, say I wanted just a wiki, but one that had a rich text editor and authenticated against my Active Directory domain. Would it be easy to just use the wiki component of omCollab, or is it all or nothing?
Regards, Dave.

As Sean mentioned ("We don't change the core code and we stay true to the extension based architecture."), all we do is integrate MW as the wiki component in omCollab with no hard coding, but extension and skin based. Which means that you can just configure a different skin and all the extensions (except SSO) should work. (check out http://mike2.openmethodology.org/w/index.php?title=MIKE2.0_Methodology&u... )
The only thing you need to watch out for is the Mediawiki:Sidebar, because we extended it to display pop-out menus. So you would have to re-write the content of the article according to Monobook syntax.
