If so desired, I could setup a dedicated portal site that will link to the wiki (and with help of rss will show the new updates there etc). This will not change the remainder of the issue, somehow synchronizing users between the mailinglist and the wiki (and in this case also the portal maybe) > > Wouldn't that require significant modifications to PHP Wiki or a > change to Media Wiki? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki > > If the email addresses on the mailinglist server and usernames > andpasswords on the webserver are stored as plain text, I bet I > could do abash/cron script that could sync the user list of PHP Wiki. This doesn't sound too difficult, but keep in mind that the names used on the wiki should (at least in theory) be proper wikiwords (so that they can automaticallly link to the user page for that person for example). > > I haven't got much experience with MySQL, which PHP Wiki is likely > touse, but wouldn't it just be a matter of flushing the users in > thedatabase, and inserting them (the email addresses from the > mailinglist)again? See above, I believe this would break the user page functionality of the wiki and possibly some other things as well.
