ah ... right, i'm no dev, true.
I assume that on the new one he has put in one general user, just like we have on the swiki...
i've checked that. until now _anybody_ can edit _without_ having to register or login (anonymous) before.
Personally, I don't like the layout of the MediaWiki so much.. the links on the right always make me think there is a menu, but generally the links there are rather unrelated to the topic the wiki is actually about...
that can be changed in mediawiki -> http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Sidebar
manual: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Interface/Sidebarbasically i agree. i don't find the links in 'navigation' very useful either.
and I think only selected users (?) can change that? I'm not sure, I never found a way to make the menu on the right useful...
you're right. only admins may modify the sidebar.personally i always found the swiki very charming but that's a personal point of view ;)
