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.

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/ and
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.

The code is here and since we recently got funding, we've really picked up
the pace for development:

Hope this helps and we could always use help from people in this community
oureselves!

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.
