Presumably I could set one up on one of my machines? A chance to see

lives up to its billing... :-)
MediaWiki does run on my PowerBook (under 10.2, I haven't installed
Panther yet) with the stock Apache and PHP installed from source. I
haven't tried messing with TeX yet, though.
(There could conceivably be problems with case-insensitivity in the
HFS+ filesystem, but I haven't run into any yet. Most of our filesystem
storage -- images and the html cache -- chops up the space by hashes...
assuming the hashing puts out randomish results, and we're using 8 bits
of that, we can expect to see 1/65536 of case-colliding names colliding
in the filesystem.)
But my chief obstacle will be that I need to get Apple
to relinquish
rights to
any MediaWiki code I write - my current list of exempted projects
predates WP!
Oh, it's okay if they own the copyright to your contributions so long
as they let them be GPL-licensed. :)
In the meantime I can start fooling around, although
it will steal
from content
creation cycles...
Con...tent? Wait -- there's *text* is this here wiki thing!
