Hi all,
Earlier this month I gave a talk at my local Linux users group meeting about some of the "advanced" functionality of MediaWiki, and how it could be modified on the "wiki side" without needing a site administrator's assistance. I thought it might be interesting to some people on this list.
There is a video of it here: http://blip.tv/file/1504861 It goes for 55 minutes. You can also download the video source file from that page.
And you can view the slides here http://www.slideshare.net/pfctdayelise/hacking-mediawiki-for-users-presentation or download them from Wikimedia Commons here http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Hacking_MediaWiki_%28For_Users%29_slides_-_Brianna_Laugher.pdf.
The slides and the video are both licensed CC-BY-SA.
I would be happy to receive feedback, if you found it useful, or if you found I said something incorrect, or if you know some useful trick that I didn't mention.
cheers, Brianna [[user:pfctdayelise]]

Thanks Brianna,
I actually found and watched your video before I saw this post. I think you did a very good job at presenting the perspective that is important to most wiki users.
I'll be presenting in a month to the BostonPHP Group and I hope to post my video also.
Best regards,
Greg
How do you - by which I mean "how do I" - download it? I can find a "download playing" link (whatever /that/ means) but nothing that appears to say how to download the video.

Oh - and, yes, I did read the help page first. Suggestions there did not apply to the code on the actual page.

In the "Files and Links" box on the right, there are some addresses.
Here they are; choose your format:
