I think I've done that configuration before, but it was a while ago. I read this article: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_in_site_root_directory and am familiar with this one: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL In general, I try to follow what MediaWiki recommends, and look to their flagship Wikipedia for best practice on how to do articles, names, etc. But they are largely recommendations, we can do what we want. A few considerations: * Can we make that wiki at webroot work on OpenShift? * Does wiki at webroot put us in a corner where we have to carefully upgrade each time so we don't break our URL scheme? Personally, I like clean, short, friendly URLs, and have always been bothered by having to use /wiki (or /w), but I haven't researched enough to know if I would be tilting at windmills to remove it, or just doing a configuration choice. - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFQBZyX2ZIOBq0ODEERAkpkAJ9Fm70CyaP+XrQB2X6Ufp9xK3Ax4ACg42S6 VS8kTrUrzTQNtZKKVuuI8xY= =TkUo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Arch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
