2003-11-08 MediaWiki --------- MediaWiki is the software used for Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) and the other Wikimedia Foundation websites. Compared to other wikis, it has an excellent range of features and support for high-traffic websites. However, it is generally harder to install. Be sure to follow the INSTALL document closely. Installation on a Microsoft Windows system is not recommended, however it is possible. Documentation for installation on Windows may be found at: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_MediaWiki_on_Windows The MediaWiki software was written by: * Lee Daniel Crocker * Magnus Manske * Jan Hidders * Brion Vibber * Axel Boldt * Geoffrey T. Dairiki * Tomasz Wegrzanowski * Erik Moeller * Tim Starling * Gabriel Wicke * Several others These developers hold the copyright to this work, and it is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 (see http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.html). Derivative works and later versions of the code will also be considered free software licensed under the same terms. The newly-founded Wikimedia Foundation currently has no legal rights to the software, although copyright may be assigned to it at a later date. Wikimedia has not funded any of the development work. Sections of code written exclusively by Lee Crocker or Erik Moeller are also released into the public domain, which does not impair the obligations of users under the GPL for use of the whole code or other sections thereof. Many thanks to the Wikipedia regulars for testing and suggestions. The code is currently maintained at Sourceforge under the project "wikipedia", module name "phase3". You can view the code in CVS, report bugs and make feature requests there: http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net Documentation and discussion on new features may be found at: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_development If you are setting up your own wiki based on this software, it is highly recommended that you subscribe to mediawiki-l: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l The mailing list is very low volume, and is intended primarily for announcements of new versions, bug fixes, and security issues. PHP The code is written in PHP. Version 4.3.2 or higher is recommended. There are known issues with early 4.2.x releases. MySQL MediaWiki requires MySQL 3.23 or later, and PHP-MySQL. Version 4.0 or later is strongly recommended Operating system The code was written on and for Linux, and no attempt has been made to make it portable to other OSs. The math support in particular has run-time dependencies on things like TeTeX and GhostScript that are generally found in Linux but not other OSs. However, we have had reports of successful installation on Windows, albeit without TeX support.
