Wow, nice! Ok, it's possible to log the users in (with some warnings but still). Very well.
The goal here is to substitute the complex MediaWiki UI with some simple and beautifully-looking social network apps to eventually bring more users to the wiki. Mike Dupont started the list of activities that can be done for the wiki using the social network UI: 1) commenting, likes What other one-click valuable activities I can imagine: 2) Voting and rating the articles. Agreeing or disagreeing with some small sections. 3) making friends that will be reflected in the wiki with the help of social extensions 4) reading news. RSS of any wiki sucks and here the admins can form the human-readable news about the life on a wiki 5) categorizing articles or (much better) images and media files I'm not sure that '''editing''' can be made more easy with the help of social network client. Any ideas on that? any ideas on what else can be made more engaging with the power of social networks? ----- Yury Katkov On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 4:11 PM, Markus Glaser <gla...@hallowelt.biz> wrote: > Hi Yury, > > we experimented with MediaWiki as a Facebook-App. Basically this is using MW > in an iFrame and passing through the Facebook authentication.
