The new wiki at wiki.diaspora-project.org is set up, for the most part. There are a few outstanding issues that I need help with, so if any MediaWiki gurus could help out, that'd be great.
The content needs to be looked over with a fine-toothed-comb. I've done my best to convert the pages, but some of them haven't been done yet. A quick browse-through of the different
I'm having difficulty getting image uploads to work on MediaWiki. My error log says the following:
PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/diaspora/public_html/wiki/LocalSettings.php:187) in /home/diaspora/public_html/wiki/includes/resourceloader/ResourceLoader.php on line 553
On the bright side, MediaWiki is properly integrated into Drupal, as is Mozilla Persona. You can register on the main site, log in through Persona, and you'll be logged in on the wiki side of things as well.
So really, the only outstanding issue is image uploads. If we can resolve this, then I can mark this half of the "New Project Site" task as done. ;)

Go for it, it looks great and I haven't noticed a single issue with the style. :)

The new wiki is nice :)
Found this tool to convert Markdown -> MediaWiki syntax: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/try
Also can we have this or something similar to embed images by url? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedImg

actually, I think this would suffice:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages
or just upload the images to the wiki, if they are tightly coupled with the surrounding content :)
just make sure they are at least some sort of CC, GFDL or better, and put the licensing information/author in the image description.

That would be great imho, forcing to upload is so 1995 :) What do others think?

ok, I updated the extension.
(repo is here, btw: https://github.com/Raven24/diaspora-mediawiki, code reviews welcome)
The stylesheet overrides should now be public,
also I did some work on a parser function for messageboxes. It can now be used to derive Templates for various purposes, see my test page: http://wiki.diaspora-project.org/wiki/User:Raven24/MsgboxTest
Next I'll do some parser function/template/JS for the 'install instructions' page, possibly where the user can select [develop|production] and [mysql|postgres] and then the shown commands are adapted to the selection... :)
@Sean: I'm not sure the changes in the apache config for the fonts are working, I'm not getting the http header...
did you remember to restart apache? ;)
Sean Tilley Fri 23 Nov 2012 11:21PM
I'll give it another restart just for good measure. :)

since there haven't been any serious issues (aesthetical or otherwise) with the stylesheet, I'd suggest we put it up for a vote? or should I just go ahead and enable it for everyone?
