Anybody else? Where are you coming from and going to with your MediaWiki experience?
I just now started a page to document MediaWiki user interface customization. You can help write this page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface
MediaWiki is a Web application for running on a webserver. A highly dedicated pudding headed amateur sysadmin such as myself can install and run it on a commercial virtual web hasting account but not without considerable time on task learning how. Because I do, and in doing rely on this email list and on mediawiki.org documentation, I also contribute to this list and that documentation when I can.
MediaWiki is not easy to install and run like Quicken or Word Perfect are. MediaWiki *is* easyish to *use* as a wiki author, as a web application. In the web application paradigm the user is not the sysadmin. All the user needs is a web browser.
Thanks,
