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
