Moin,
after a lot of work I am happy to announce the first version of an
extension which lets you easily create presentations inside a
Mediawiki-wiki.
It is easy to use:
* the entire presentation can be described in a few lines in a template
* topics and subtopics are supported
* additions/deletions/resorting are always possible and automatically
update the navigation bar on all slides
* unlike the DynamicPageList extension(s), you need not to put the slides
into a category (saving the category-bar and thus space), and it is
cache-friendly: all slides are fully cached
* lets you hide UI elements to make more room on the screen
* developed and tested on Mediawiki v1.6.3, but should work on v1.5.8
Although I do not like dog-food :), I started my own wiki and created a
presentation on how to use this extension:

Hope you like it. If you install this extension on you wiki, and create
some open presentations with it, please let me know :)
Best wishes,
Tels

"In 1988, Jack Thompson ran against Janet Reno for DA of Dade County:
Thompson's unique campaign message was that Reno was unfit for the job
because, as a closeted lesbian with a drinking problem, she was great
candidate for blackmail by the criminal element. Jack never explained
why this remained a threat even after he exposed her 'secret'. Reno
cruised at the polls."
