Wow. Who’s the man?! I’ve yet really to dive in and understand all the technical issues in play here–it’s probably beyond me, to be frank–but all the same, your persistence is quite impressive. Many thanks. I think you’re right in guessing that others are going to benefit. Hopefully some of the more capable among them will join forces with you to keep pushing forward the larger integration magic.
@jefgodesky: I don’t want to sidetrack this thread, but I’m more interested for now in the authorization/integration issue. As you point out in your first post, there have been a number of fragmented discussions on this forum about MediaWiki integration, but it seems like a bit more persistent and focused effort would benefit a lot of people. I’m interested to learn how you’ve fared on this front with your own setup, what you think the best way forward would be for a community-wide effort to develop a more integrated framework, etc.
As I say, I want this thread to yield something useful for you regarding your question about markup–I can’t offer any help there, so my apologies–so if you’d rather take this up somewhere else, we can start a new thread.
Yes, indeed. Thanks for all your hard work.
Just adding my support for something along these lines. Wish I had the coding chops to help put it together, but I just don’t…
@David: FYI, the /cv link on your Web site is broken.
Spencer, was just hoping for a quick clarification on all this: Did you use the same MySQL database for everything? In the thread here you use terms like “MediaWiki database” and “WP database,” but I’m wondering whether that actually just means the MediaWiki tables and the WP tables, all contained in one MySQL database. Do tell. 
Thanks,
Nate
Sorry, phollo, can’t offer any meaningful help here, but I did just want to say that I’m interested in seeing your results.
Looks very good. Nicely done!
My thanks as well, Spencer. I’m watching what you put together with great interest, and your ongoing explanations are most helpful. Many others will surely benefit from your struggles.
Nate
