I upgraded the wiki to v1.12 and joined the long list of people  
suffering from blank pages. That is somewhat fixed although any tweaks  
to the plumbing (as in adding an extension) cause the blank pages to  
return. I think it is safe to add or edit content as the problem is  
not with the database. It's with a battle between changes in MW 1.12,  
PHP 5, our .htaccess setup, the type of service we have from Joyent  
and the installer I used from VirtualMin.

The new URL is part of what I had to do to get the blank pages to go  
away. However, that broke any short URL links, which may be why the  
images are MIA. I have not had time to work on the short  URL fix and  
won't until later this week. We are applying for a major grant from  
the city of Santa Fe and that is priority one for the moment. It it  
due Tuesday.

The wiki is open for content additions today and will remain so for a  
while. Ultimately, however, it is a knowledge base for activities at  
sfComplex and will be available for content creation only to donors  
and projects operating through sfX. It will, of course, be publicly  
accessible as a general resource.

For everyone's information, MW 1.12 supports a  major video  
integration effort between Mediawiki and Kaltura, which is why I  
didn't roll back to MW 1.9. Probably should have waited for MW 1.15 or  
2.0. <g>
