Brian wondered if the pageoftext plain output (that’s a nifty trick!) that is the arborwiki working-copy css could … actually be used as the CSS for the site?

The answer is: kind of. (for some short time, I have the css linked at dev.arborwiki.org). The formatting renders in webkit browsers, but not Firefox. Oh well.

Has anyone successfully implemented wikified css?

Is there an elegant way to aggregate the recent changes feeds of multiple wikis? I ask because MediaWiki’s RC RSS feed is particularly kludgy to read / react to.

ArborWiki has been upgraded to a more recent version of MediaWiki. Apart from the usual MediaWiki system changes, we’ve now got a Captcha (recaptcha, http://recaptcha.net) that’s triggered when (a) anonymous users post more than a certain number of external links or (b) on new user creation.

dev.arborwiki.org is now the place for new things — it seems that the good old days when I would want to experiment on the live site are over.

Please let me know if you’re interested in contributing to the development of ArborWiki, or have any issues with the meta recent changes.
