Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Creating a new special page
 
Hi, all, I'm trying to create a new kind of special page; if you have any
php that you'd be happy to share with a struggling neophyte to help me learn
the ropes please contact me! What I'm actually trying to do is create a new
user type (teacher) who will have a special page that lists all his/her
students, who will also be users...
 
If there's anyone doing something similar, let's talk.
 
Cheers,
andrea
