Do you use MediaWiki as a conference website?

If you administer a MediaWiki installation and use it as a conference
website when you host conferences and conventions, you might be
interested in this suggested summer project:

No skilled MediaWiki administrators or developers have shown interest in
mentoring this project, so right now it's unlikely to progress. If you
think you could mentor him this summer, please reply to me and cc him at
chughakshay16 [at] gmail . Mentoring takes about five hours a week
(communication, code review, design help, and so on).

(He is applying to participate in Wikimedia Foundation's Google Summer
of Code program -- details at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012/management#GSoC_management_philosophy
and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012 .)

Re: Do you use MediaWiki as a conference website? [In reply to]

Madam,
I would like to use Mediawiki as a Website Administration Tool !
But, even with some knowledge in Computers, just as an User !
Unfortunately, I loaded it easyly, but did not succed to let it run !
As I told before, providing a mesh of Files is not enough !
A Launcher is compusory, and, in the case of a Computer with Windows as OS,
a "setup.exe" or simillar !
The Mediawiki community did not take much part in help for such a "dumb's affair" !
Too bad ! I am sorry to use this contact just for a such stupid fact,
but improving Mediawiki begins to let it Start "everywhere" !
Thank you for your attention.
Eric Beaussart.
