I'm going to be presenting at the BostonPHP user group meeting in January (Wed, Jan 14th 6:30PM) http://www.bostonphp.org/ My presentation is in __rough__ draft form at http://freephile.com/wiki/index.php/MediaWiki/Presentation The site accepts OpenID registrations so if you've got an account with AOL, Yahoo! etc. you can login and leave comments on the Talk page http://freephile.com/wiki/index.php/Talk:MediaWiki/Presentation Or, reply to this email thread. I'd like to get input from anyone interested in such a presentation about what your interests are. You can shape the presentation. * Do you want to know how to use MW - either standalone, or as a wikipedian? * Do you want to know more about how the system works, including how to theme it? * Do you want to know how to configure/administer it in certain ways - meaning what extensions do you need to do X? * Do you want to know what extensions are, and how you can develop your own custom functionality in MW? * Do you want to hear about what's going on in the MW community and new developments such as semantic mediawiki? If planning to attend the talk, please RSVP http://www.bostonphp.org/component/option,com_gigcal/task,details/gigcal_gigs_id,65/Itemid,42/ Map http://maps.google.com/maps?q=10+Milk+Street+Boston+MA+02108+USA&hl=en O'Reilly has published a new book on MediaWiki, by local author Daniel Barrett. http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596519797/ We've been in touch with O'Reilly and will try to get some promotional materials. Since the author is local, we may even be able to setup a meet/greet at the event. I'm hoping that we'll get a big turnout so please spread the word. For those who can't make it, we also intend to post a video.

To have that support would be sweet, and I can think of a ton of apps I'd start writing tomorrow if it was available, especially as a library for PHP. Starting with a script to fix all the metadata that one of our artists screwed up. The best I've seen is partial support (read, overwrite) for jpg files.
