[Mediawiki-l] I'd like to add these features

[Bryan Shepherd]

I'd like to add two features to my wiki.  First, I'd like to have content 
with a certain heading or on a certain page randomly displayed in a box on 
the front page.  I've tried to figure out how Wikipedia does this, but I am 
still learning the wikimedia software so I haven't gotten it.  Second I'd 
like to add an "Invite" link so that users can invite others to the site via 
email, but I'm not exactly sure where to start.  As yo umay have guessed, 
I'm not a professional programmer, just a hobbyist : )

Any help with either of these issues would be helpful.

Thanks!
