Greetings,
I have for the past four years been the webmaster and chief author of the Outcyclopedia, an online reference guide for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. I would like to revamp the project into a wiki, using articles already existing on the site, any future articles written by myself or contributors, plus articles forked from Wikipedia, per Wikipedia's copyright guidelines, using and granting permissions under either the GNU or Creative Commons License.
The change from a site using html to one utilizing PHP, MySQL, and MediaWiki would take me into new territory, technical and otherwise. I would therefore appreciate any and all help and advice which may be offered, especially from persons running their own non-Wikipedia wiki projects, such as Memory Alpha or Jewpedia, and of course any other GLBt Wikipedians that may be out there. Thanks.
Cheers,
James
