[ops] install OpenRecord wiki

[skinner]

It would be great to have a project wiki for collaborating on OpenRecord. Once there's a wiki set up we can transfer most of the content on the old OpenRecord web site over to the wiki.

Ideally, we'd like to use MediaWiki for the wiki, mainly because we'd like to experiment with integrating OpenRecord and MediaWiki by creating a dojo.data datastore that can read structured data from MediaWiki pages. More about that ​here.

I've already done the DNS change to make wiki.openrecord.org point to 209.128.72.206, as per a conversation back in September. Let me know if that's working as intended.

A few other wish-list details...

• some MediaWiki sites use "short" URLs, and some use "long" URLs - it'd be great to have short URLs, if possible
  • short example: ​http://wiki.openrecord.org/Some_Page
  • long example: ​http://wiki.openrecord.org/index.php?title=Some_Page
  • more info here: ​http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/MediaWiki#Beautifying_URLs
• I'd like to allow anonymous reading, and allow new user registrations, but prevent anonymous edits. More info on that here: ​http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access#Disable_anonymous_edits
• to enable image uploads, it may be necessary to edit LocalSettings.php to set "$wgEnableUploads = true;"
• I should be able to do most of the other config stuff myself (nav-bar, main page, css, logo, etc.), if you would create a "Skinner" wiki user account for me and give 'sysop' and 'bureaucrat' priviledges to that account.

Thanks!
