Hi, I've upgraded the version of Mediawiki used by http://wiki.koha-community.org/ to 1.16.2. One particularly visible change is that the OpenID login page now lists a plethora of options for using your account on other web services such as Google, Flickr, and so forth to identify yourself to the Koha wiki. If you find anything amiss after the upgrade, please let me know.

Thank you for that! So if anyone would like to update the wiki, you can now log in easily with an account from Google, Yahoo, AOL, MyOpenID, LiveJournal, VOX, Blogger, Flickr, Verisign, Vidoop, or ClaimID - as well as your own OpenID web page, like before. Should we relabel "Login / Create Account with OpenID" at the top of the page - and if so, what to? I wanted to check the page about getting started editing the wiki - but I couldn't find it. Anyone know where it is? Thanks, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. http://koha-community.org supporter, web and LMS developer, statistician.

Hi! You just use the category in a page, I think: [[Category:Name of your new category]] Then when you view the page, the category is displayed as a link to a non-existing page. Click on it to add content to the category page. To make this new category a sub-category of an existing one, just use the old category on the page for the new one: [[Category:Name of an old category]] God luck! ;-) Magnus Enger libriotech.no

Sounds good. Any suggestions for wording? I've looked at some other Mediawiki setups that use OpenID, and most of them just say "Login in OpenID" or just "OpenID" or the like. I can't think of anything else to succinctly express the concept of securely logging in using your account at the other website that doesn't rely on the "OpenID", which may be unfamiliar to many people.

Looks to me like there is something amiss with the categories? When I'm editing a page I now get an unfamiliar list of bits and bobs below the main editing textarea, where the categories used to be listed. This is in FF and Safari on OS X. Adding new categories to a page "manually" works fine, but there is no way to remove an old category - it just doesn't show up anywhere... Best regards, Magnus Enger libriotech.no
I noticed that Brooke's "newbie guide" (not yet completely transferred) somehow became a category page, with some distinctly non-newbie developer-related stuff somehow categorized "under" it. Worst-case scenario one could just cut all the text, create a new page then delete the old one? On Sat, Mar 12, 2011 at 3:26 PM, Magnus Enger <magnus@enger.priv.no> wrote:

Blame that one on me and not Galen. When I initially set that up, I selected it as its own category with the intent to later break the pages so that it was more readable and less daunting. Cheers, Brooke

No blame involved, just pointing out that we had a bit of category cleanup work ahead anyway and suggested a workaround. I've been assembling and editing some newbie-type notes from my initial install/config experience, and once things have settled down a bit intend to contribute in that area as well.
