[Mediawiki-l] Clean URLs

[Bruce Whealton]

I thought most software apps that store and manage content make use of 
mod_rewrite to create clean urls.  Drupal, , joomla, wordpress, etc. 
have that setup.  It's the default in drupal and in wordpress it is 
configurable.  I didn't realize it was a hack.  I use a shared host so 
when it worked in other apps, I didn't have to do anything really. 
Sorry, I'm a bit new to mediawiki.  I'm reading a couple books on it.  
The jump in and do approach wasn't so effective I found.  I was asking 
questions that just seemed to get ignored or hmm.  for anwsers... I 
suppose that was the reaction to my many questions.
Thanks,
Bruce
