Hi everyone,
I'm very excited to announce the release of my new book, "Working with
MediaWiki". It's a general reference guide to MediaWiki, that's meant for
anyone who runs, or is thinking of running, a MediaWiki installation. Its
23 chapters cover everything from MediaWiki syntax, to categories and
namespaces, to the various useful extensions, to customizing the skin and
interface. The extension known as Semantic MediaWiki gets special focus,
with four chapters devoted to it and its spinoff extensions. However, even
if you're not planning to use Semantic MediaWiki, this book is crammed full
of the information you need to use MediaWiki to its fullest capacity.
And MediaWiki head developer Brion Vibber was kind enough to provide a
brief, but meaningful, foreword.
This book is the product of over a year's worth of work, and contains a lot
of knowledge gained from years of helping out with MediaWiki installations
large and small through my consulting company, WikiWorks.
The publisher is WikiWorks Press; you could also refer to the book as
self-published if you want. :)
"Working with MediaWiki" is available via print-on-demand, as an e-book,
and as a PDF download, and can be found on Amazon and the like. You can
read more about the book, including ordering information, at its website:
http://workingwithmediawiki.com/
It's a good addition to any bookshelf, real or virtual, and this holiday
season it could hopefully be a great gift, for yourself or that special
MediaWiki admin in your life.
-Yaron
