hmm ... what about spammers - in my experience, wikis without any login
are very 'vulnerable' (meaning, they get flooded as soon as they get
detected by spiders). maybe mediawiki has some inbuilt protection,
haven't investigated that ... i don't find sc:sc that hard to remember ...

I think Dan was meant that the SourceForge provided Mediawiki requires everyone to be a dev on the project in order to edit. So that makes it hard for non-devs to post to that wiki.

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/Sidebar
basically 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 ;)
