I just now started a page to document MediaWiki user interface 
customization. You can help write this page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface


MediaWiki is a Web application for running on a webserver. A highly 
dedicated pudding headed amateur sysadmin such as myself can install 
and run it on a commercial virtual web hasting account but not without 
considerable time on task learning how. Because I do, and in doing rely 
on this email list and on mediawiki.org documentation, I also 
contribute to this list and that documentation when I can.

MediaWiki is not easy to install and run like Quicken or Word Perfect 
are. MediaWiki *is* easyish to *use* as a wiki author, as a web 
application. In the web application paradigm the user is not the 
sysadmin. All the user needs is a web browser.
