I just started admining a mediawiki on an intranet,
and already my users are asking about support for
blogs. Doing a quick search, all I found was this,
which isn't that useful:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews_and_Blogs
and I found this extension:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fxparlant/Blog
but I don't think that is exactly what my users are
looking for (I mean, that extension is almost
misnamed). Or maybe I don't understand it that well.
Some of the more bloated wikis seem to have some
suppport, but there is a reason I didn't choose them -
they were too bloated! I like the simple and sleek
look of mediawiki.
I know users can create/edit pages, (for instance, top
post to a weekly page (or daily page) etc.), but is
there something or some technique that might be a
little more automated for posting? If it's not easy,
they won't use it (comparing it to blogger), and just
complain!
thanks
bob
