No I'm pretty much using the default setup. There are only a few changes that
have been made to LocalSettings.php. They are:

$wgLogo = "/mediawiki/GdsLogo.png";
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
$wgWhitelistRead =  array ( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Wikipedia:Help");
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgParserConf['preprocessorClass'] = 'Preprocessor_Hash';
$wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = false;
define("NS_NOTES", 100);
$wgExtraNamespaces[NS_NOTES] = "Notes";
$wgCapitalLinks = false;


Other than that, everything is as installed.

Thanks,
Dave
