Today's release of MediaWiki 1.10 reminds me that the CC Wiki is badly in need of an upgrade (from 1.6). Here's the todo list:
- Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.10
- Add more spam prevention, remove barriers
- possibly no image upload on new accounts?
- add capcha?
- remove need for email confirmation?
- Install OpenId extension
- Install Semantic MediaWiki extension
- Migrate lists of stuff to articles with queryable assertions, e.g., content curators, books
That's in addition to migrating and adding lots more content there and doing a theme refresh.
The release also reminds me to look at an old patch to AJAX-ify Creative Commons license selection option in installer, makie it work in 1.10, and try to get it into the mainline.
