Mediawiki.org would be the first place to stop. Check out the configuration
guide:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration
Most configuration changes are made by editing, adding, or removing
variables in the LocalSettings.php file. Additional features not included
with the software can be added through extensions:

I came from a programming background too, the learning curve isn't too bad.
This list is excellent for more specific questions.

Hi,
What suggestions do you have for someone who has to set up a Wiki using
Mediawiki. It has been installed by a tech guy but now I, as a
programmer, have to set it up, get it functioning and get data into it.
That is my assignment at work.
(Suggestions to find another job will not work!!!)
I have gotten permissions set up so I can edit LocalSettings.php (and I
don't know php either).
I know nothing about Wiki except looking stuff up in Wikipedia!!!
Thanks
