MediaWiki on Turnkey Linux
-
I understand, but since we're not willing to pay for it it's kinda not an option. I know that the Sharepoint Essentials version is out there, but the last time I install it, I was completely confused.

You can share OneNote. SharePoint is a great place for sharing the OneNote files however
Funny how we keep coming back to Sharepoint lol
It is a great tool.

Sharepoint's power makes it have a learning curve. The free is actually less confusing than enterprise.

We started on SP in 2003. Left it, tried some wiki products and other things. But by 2010 we came back to SP. It had matured to a point that it was the best and by 2013 it was really rocking. Getting it hosted made it even better.

Oddly enough. I've actually been doing a bit of MediaWiki support this week.
-
It's not that difficult to get MW to do what you want, though. You just need to get used to it.

OK, I think part of my problem is that I'm using the Turnkey version of MediaWiki. I looked at the MediaWiki page yesterday and the editing tools are very different from the ones in the Turnkey version.
Since I'm a complete NOOB on Linux I was/am looking for something I could get up and running quickly, Turnkey fit the bill, but is starting to have some shortcomings.
Any comments on my using turnkey MW versus installing it on say CentOS?

Only that it is very easy on CentOS 6. No idea what real benefit Turnkey would offer over it.

Not having to install CentOS - LOL...

CentOS takes so little and then just one or two yum commands to a MediaWiki install.
-
@scottalanmiller Agree with Scott. Linux is stupid simple to setup so doing it any other way is harder.
-
At least for a CentOS based we server. Very much in the wheelhouse.
-
Having a MediaWiki walkthrough lab project would probably be a good idea.
