We host description of our research work in form of Wiki, using MediaWiki. I would like to start a blog inside of our Wiki, not on one of publicly available blog hosting services, becuase we want to have more control over the storage of data and uniform access to them (through MediaWiki).
Can you suggest me any extension to MediaWiki which allows for having a blog as one of Wiki pages ? What are your experience with existing extensions ?
By blog I mean a single Wiki page, where: * Entries are sorted by date of publication * Under each entry there is a list of comments or a link to the separate page with only commented entry and detailed list of comments made to it
Thank you for your time, Maciej

I asked myself that question some time ago. There is this extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:My_blog
But it wasn't exactly what I expected. I didn't like the "one user <-> one blog" relationship. I wanted blogs to have their own names, and to be part of the wiki as a whole, following the wiki philosophy, like "many users <-> many blogs".
So, I started this extension:
http://svn.juliano.info/svn/mediawiki/extensions/Blog/trunk/
There are a lot of features missing for a blog, I never had time to finish it, but it does what I expected:
- Blogs are part of the wiki, not user's pages.
- It follows wiki philosophy as far as possible: any user can post to any blog, as long as it has edit permissions to the "Blog:" namespace; if a user makes an inappropriate post, you just move or delete that post's page; many users may collaborate to a single blog post.
- Blogs (and posts) in different languages are linked through language interwiki links.
- Wiki categories are user for blog categories also.
If you want to see it in action:
http://juliano.info/en/Blog:Memory_Leak
Among the features that are currently missing for a basic blog is the generation of RSS feeds (other than the builtin MediaWiki RSS feeds, that are not exactly what is expected for a blog).
Feel free to use it if you want. It is open source, so if you (or anyone here) want to contribute the missing features, it will be highly appreciated. If there is enough interest in it, I may ask MediaWiki devs to host it in MW's Subversion repository.
Best regards, Juliano.
My blog[1] is based on MediaWiki. It is accomplished through page transclusion and bulit on two extensions I created explicitly for this purpose: WikiArticleFeeds[2] and ArticleComments[3].
It's by no means polished - but it does the job well enough for me.

Jim,
Ok. Thanks. I like your extension ArticleComments for its simplicity.
I have a question related to it. How can I put talks page (already made comments) on the same page, under the article which is commented ?
Similary as you've done at

In the article page, put {{:Talk:{{PAGENAME}}. That tells MediaWiki to "transclude" the talk page into this page.
Make sure that in the Talk page you put <noinclude></noinclude> around anything you don't want to show in the main article.
