documentation help requested for new mediawiki

[Richard Berg]

http://www.avisynth.org/mediawiki

I'd like to eventually phase out the current wiki. It's inferior in basically every way. Some features I think will be especially helpful for us:
- multiple languages of the same page
- file uploading (for images AND scripts)
- categories
- subpages (will make huge pages like the FAQ much easier to edit)
- discussion pages

This is a big undertaking, of course. If we decide to drive it to completion it will require everything from high-level doc reorganization to a logo that fits in the upper left correctly. Let me know what I can do to help. For instance, it wouldn't be too hard to write a webpage similar to http://www.richardberg.net/bin/convert.html that converts 'TaviWiki formatting to MediaWiki.

Nevertheless, there are a lot of conceptual differences in MediaWiki that don't translate directly and will influence the structure of the new site. User's Guide: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User's_Guide

We are looking for volunteers to port (copy and paste plus some small changes) the documentation from the old wiki on avisynth.org to our new mediawiki. If you want to help, please respond to this article.
