So I have been primarily using just the core mediawiki setup. But as time passes and I see more and more advanced systems integrated into mediawiki, getting a "Standard" or common setup of mediawiki is getting harder and harder for basic users to deploy. We are now getting into requiring restbase, parsoid, composer and probably a few other systems that I am not recalling at the moment.
What does the community think about getting something together that simplifies/automates this? What I am thinking is something that could be used on a newly created box that installs and configures the needed components in a "standard" configuration? Right now the setup is less than straight forward, you go to add Extension:Math (which has been a simple project until recently). Where you are told it needs Restbase, and mathiod. We actually include the wording *Unfortunately, there is no well tested guide on installing Mathoid <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Mathoid> and Restbase <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Restbase> to work with the Math extension *If we don't even have a good guide why have we converted a very high use extension to that? We then forward them to docs spread out between mediawiki.org wikitech, and the vendor's website. More and more users are hitting brick walls and giving up because they cannot figure out how to get these different systems talking to each other. Ideally we would have install/config scripts for at least Debian and Ubuntu systems with CentOS probably being the next highest used distro. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
