Hi Jack,

I believe you get credits to show up by editing the DefaultSettings.php
in the includes directory.  Edit the following:
*$wgMaxCredits = 0;  *
a *-1* shows all, a *0 *hides it, and *any other number* sets the
maximum credits to show.

Some caveats:
1.  This can slow down your site.
2.  This uses the authors real name (if they inputed it) instead of
their handle.
3.  It shows up on the bottom (See the footer at
http://www.appropedia.org/for an example).
---- I think that you could edit the skin to have that part of the
footer show up as a infobox on the side.

Good luck, I would love to hear how it goes, Lonny
