It seems neccessary to require users to login to edit.
This avoids defacement and makes authors feel more responsible for
the content.

InterWiki Links
User:Haui configured issue InterWiki links for TWiki. A test page is at [Sandbox_BernhardHaumacherSandbox]. That would be handy here too.

Cleanup Test Installations
mediawiki2, mediawiki, backups of httpd.conf, ... can be purged.
We might want to keep one playground though.
CodeSyntaxHighlight MediaWiki Extension (done)
Code Syntax highlighting using GeShi
http://qbnz.com/highlighter/
Has been added as per
http://mercury.it.swin.edu.au/swinbrain/index.php/CodeSyntaxHighlight_MediaWiki_Extension
Haven't updated help page yet.
The default color codes for Geishi could be improved.
I have changed the colors for oobas, but am not sure what colors to assign for C. I haven't managed to mimick the BASIC IDE as I don't understand why keywords like "for" are blue but "msgbox" is green.
For those that have access to the server the files are in:
ooodata/www/mwiki/extensions/CodeSyntaxHighlight/geshi
and look like (initial comments removed):
[php]
$language_data = array (
'LANG_NAME' => 'C',

I found this link useful for working out color codes: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutorials/colors/article.php/3478961
Subpages (done)
On Kai's suggestion the subpage mechanism has been enabled in Localsettings.php for the main namespace.
This eases the generation of hierarchical structures where appropriate. Subpages allow to place pages as children into other pages and to address other pages relative (e.g. ../../bla). Details can be found in the mediawiki help
There is also an RFE for listening all the subpages for a particular page: in MediaZilla (bug tracking system for mediawiki).
