Overview
MediaWiki is the software used for this wiki, and seems to be the most mature (and most rapidly developing) wiki software available.

Wish List
- RSS/Atom feeds for:
- Specific pages only
- Watched pages only
- Other users' contributions only (maybe the ability to select which users to include, with "[x]new users" being an option -- then you'd check everyone except yourself, and new users would automatically get added to the list)
- ...and are there feed readers out there which can do this kind of filtering on their own, perhaps? They seem to be the exception, rather than the rule, and anyway as long as the feed itself contains Every Change To The Site, I can't use it as a source for a public aggregator page (e.g. the one at SluggySquad). Seems like filter parameters should be part of the URL, even, though I doubt that's the case.
- Subwikis
Developer Documents
A number of documents are included with the MediaWiki package, found in the /docs directory. They are reproduced here for easier reference, annotation, and discussion. (The actual names are all lowercase.)
