[edit] General

This is the MMVL's Wiki. Feel free to have a look at the information, we have published here! The MMVL's MediaWiki is read-only for anonymous users.

[edit] Usage

The MMVL's MediaWiki is read-only for anonymous users. MediaWiki is a Sourceforge software project with 66 members at the moment. This software is being used to host the world's largest Wiki-Site: the Wikipedia. Despite of the fact, that everyone can edit it, the Wikipedia seems to be quite stable by a continuous effort of users and administrators. The MediaWiki has powerful concepts like watchlists, discussion pages and blocking of IP-addresses and users to prevent vandalism.

[edit] Playing videos

For playing the videos under Microsoft Windows we recommend DivX player, and for playing under Linux we recommend MPlayer or Xine.

[edit] Private Wikis

Unfortunately at the moment the access restrictions for all users are the same. Implementing user permissions is not an easy task (think about the special pages like Special:Recent Changes or the search page f.e.). This feature already is planned in the form of Access control lists.

For the moment we are using several Wiki systems, which are running in parallel. That's why you'll maybe have more than one user-account (and more than one password is possible). When the user-access levels have been developed by the MediaWiki-community, it'll be possible to merge all Wiki-systems and User-databases into a single system.

To share big files please use the MMVL webdav server.
