? (Which, unfortunately, is offline for
an upgrade at the moment!)
But anyway, sounds like an interesting idea. :-)
What software is it using?

All,
Right now, all methods of getting support for and general discussion
about MediaWiki fall flat in many areas.
* This mailing list is good for long-form questions and answers,
but is difficult to search leading to multiple duplicate questions. The
nature of the list also makes things like embedding screenshots
difficult.
* [[Project:Support desk]] on
mediawiki.org is serviceable, but
long-form questions or answers require a large amount of scrolling due to
the narrow content width in Flow, and again attaching screenshots to
illustrate problems is difficult.
* The #mediawiki channel on IRC (and related channels) are not easy
for newbies to discover or use, and many organizations block IRC meaning
that we cut off this support method from those at such organizations who
have MediaWiki questions. Like the other support methods, screenshots are
also difficult.
As such, I have launched a new support forum for MediaWiki[1]. It aims to
make it easier to not only ask for and receive support compared to the
methods I outlined above, but also hopes to serve as a hub where people
who run their own MediaWiki installations can connect, share tips, and
network. To my knowledge, there is no such “MediaWiki Users Group”
outside of mailing lists at this time. The service is ad-free and content
posted is available under CC-BY-SA 3.0 so that particularly good answers
can be used to bolster documentation on
mediawiki.org.
I encourage anyone that is interested to check it out, and please let me
know if you have any feedback, suggestions, or questions about it 😊.
