> Hi, I have three questions.
> 
> Q 1) I've added an RSS parser to my extensions library for some of my 
> Wikis (MediaWiki ver. 1.6.8). Some of my sites I have set up  can only be 
> accessed either from a specific IP addresses or through a password to the 
> directory.  I am using the RSS extension and Magpie to display external 
> feeds within my wiki using the tags <rss></rss> but have not been able to 
> display feeds from our IP authenticated or password protected blogs. My 
> blogs and sites that are open work fine. Is there a way to display content 
> from either IP authenticated areas OR password protected areas using the 
> RSS parser and Magpie.
> 
> Q 2) Has anyone written a calendar program that integrates with MediaWiki? 
> Something that I could drop into my extensions library?  PMWiki.org has a 
> PMCalendar in their Cookboox and says that it may be compatible with other 
> Wikis. Have through about giving it a shot unless there's something 
> better.
> 
> Q 3) In MediaWiki:Sidebar, I have divided the navigation bar into two 
> areas e.g., *main navigation and *quick links.  So, on the left sidebar, I 
> get two boxes for organizing my links.  When I change my default Skin to 
> the Cologne Blue (or any other skin), though, only my *main navigation 
> box/links appear. My *quick links box/links disappear. Is there a way to 
> keep this persistent even if you use other skins?

> Thank you, Karen
