I wouldn't rule out moving away from MediaWiki. There are alternatives out
there which are easier to maintain, have compatibility with other services,
and should require less developer support. It also depends on which
audience we're trying to serve. MediaWiki is familiar to Wikimedians and
easy
TMH = Timed Media Handler.
Sorry, I forgot not everyone is in the same MW Dev circles...

So I'm not quite sure what TMH is Lewis, but I think that we will get Tom
Morton to do the installs of the extensions, because he's already been
working on the website.
Perhaps other Wikimedians could suggest what extensions Tom should install?
The two i mentioned were the Timed Media Handler and
I'd get the contractors to install TMH - while the install itself is
relatively simple, configuring it so the Transcode jobs don't kill all the
other services is probably something best left to the people with an
understanding of all the chapters infrastructure.
Looking at the server list, I'd be
(help also welcomed!)

Hi John
If there is an existing instance of MediaWiki, I would be happy to volunteer a
few hours to install the extensions you are missing, update to the latest

I’m not a professional techie but I’ve installed MediaWiki on

I believe they are pretty fully occupied with some back end issues at the
moment.

In place of a more useful researched answer (as I'm in a lecture) but does
the chapter not employ/contract people to manage the websites and IT?
I'm a bit out of touch with chapter things these days, but I'm sure this

Hi all, this is an email to ask for help and advice on improving the
Wikimedia UK websiite. Speaking to RexX recently at an event, I was
discussing some of the issues we are having with the UK website recently as

gone down
