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
