Oh, is Wikia now using this visual editor as opposed to their previous one?

IIRC, Wikia does include the visual editor.

Hey Shai,

I'm not sure there is one right now, sorry. (Very happy to be corrected, though.)

Yours,

​ Yes. They've worked a great deal on VisualEditor and are making it available instead of the very dated and limited FCYEditor.

I already have vps with Ubuntu 14.0.4 I just can't sucessfuly install the VE by myself, this is the reason I'm looking for hosting that install it for me. If someone can help me with the installation on my Ubuntu I'll be glad :)

I've already followed those manuals, but I got to a dead end when the "Edit" button is just not working, i'm connecting to the IRC client and posted a question there. Thanks.

this would give you the wonderful advangage of taking full power of studying and modifying source code which is a key freedom - software freedom mediawiki is free software

follow here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu free to skip imagemagic (unless you want users to upload files) and skip installing phpmyadmin, and ftp server (they're totally redundant afaik)

then follow here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor DO follow parsoid service steps if you would like this to go to production very easy mostly, run scripts other people wrote for you, files drag&drop, add lines to localsettings, a lot of other similar things use wget to download things in commandline, and 'tar -xvf' to untar them, 'mv' to rename them

if you have questions ask around here or at #mediawiki at chat.freenode.net (more detail about this live chat thingy at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/IRC )

this software usually gives you error message text, on-screen most time, sometime need to check apache logs, watch them live at `tail -f /var/log/apache2/*' if at all needed
