Hi everyone, I'm very excited to announce the release of my new book, "Working with MediaWiki". It's a general reference guide to MediaWiki, that's meant for anyone who runs, or is thinking of running, a MediaWiki installation. Its 23 chapters cover everything from MediaWiki syntax, to categories and namespaces, to the various useful extensions, to customizing the skin and interface. The extension known as Semantic MediaWiki gets special focus, with four chapters devoted to it and its spinoff extensions. However, even if you're not planning to use Semantic MediaWiki, this book is crammed full of the information you need to use MediaWiki to its fullest capacity. And MediaWiki head developer Brion Vibber was kind enough to provide a brief, but meaningful, foreword. This book is the product of over a year's worth of work, and contains a lot of knowledge gained from years of helping out with MediaWiki installations large and small through my consulting company, WikiWorks. The publisher is WikiWorks Press; you could also refer to the book as self-published if you want. :) "Working with MediaWiki" is available via print-on-demand, as an e-book, and as a PDF download, and can be found on Amazon and the like. You can read more about the book, including ordering information, at its website: http://workingwithmediawiki.com/ It's a good addition to any bookshelf, real or virtual, and this holiday season it could hopefully be a great gift, for yourself or that special MediaWiki admin in your life. -Yaron -- WikiWorks · MediaWiki Consulting · http://wikiworks.com _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
