2005-06-12 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 using multiple servers (Wikimedia sites peak in the 5000+ requests per second range as of November 2005). While quite usable on smaller sites, you may find you have to "roll your own" local documentation, and some aspects of configuration may seem overcomplicated because MediaWiki is primarily targeted as an in-house tool. See the files RELEASE-NOTES, INSTALL, and UPGRADE for details on system requirements and installation procedure. 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 * Ashar Voultoiz * Evan Prodromou * Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason * Niklas Laxström * Several others The contributors hold the copyright to this work, and it is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later[1] (see http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.html).
