    www.watchtowerwiki.org

    I set this site up a couple of years back but have never really done anything with it, so here's the deal;

    I'd like two or three enthusiastic individuals who know their way around MediaWiki to take over and develop the site. I'll retain the 'master sysop' account but will not be involved in anything other than routine maintenance.

    Some conditions.

    [1] Nothing illegal. There is already quite a good download page on the site but I will be deleting much of it - only the older (usually pre 1950) publications and any public domain recordings will remain. So no hosting of current material!

    [2] No libelous comment. As site owner I don't want anything you post coming back to bite me in the ass. I will delete anything I wish to.

    [3] Keep it focused. If you think that's too vague maybe you're not the person for this.

    I guess we'll see how we go along, but for now why not register at the site and create a page in the name of your JWN username to show me what you can do.

    First, you must limit the edit privilege to identified users, there are some robots that have populate your wiki with stupid ads.

    You must add this line to you localsettings.php:

    "$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;"

    Second, where are your extensions ? You have none, even the popular "cite" to add references to article. (Mediawiki 1.12.1 is too old)

    Take a look at my Wiki version page to see the most useful for a wiki (in my opinion):

    Well with Google street View extension, we can make some very funny webpage:

    Thanks for the input Chasson. Upgrading to the latest version shouldn't be too difficult, I'll take care of that if any interest is shown.

    It is difficult indeed, if you can't perform the upgrade by the php script furnished. (particularly if you have not a root access on your server), you must manually change the database in Phpmyadmin...

    Any chance of getting a 'last chance' warning before pulling stuff down off the download page?

    Why my topic?

    Anyway, enjoy the download page while you can, it will be severely reduced within a few days. Unless anyone steps forward with an offer to manage the wiki I'll probably just take it off-line by the end of the month.

    Honestly, you'd think there'd be some motivated apostate out there . . . . .
