samwilson I've been running some small mediawiki sites since about 2006. It's not too hard. For about the same time, I've run some wordpress sites, and I think the maintenance processes are pretty much the same in most ways. WP does a much better job of alerting you to things that might be wrong (e.g. upgrades available etc)

#
[chrisaldrich] samwilson, are you planning on attending the upcoming IndieWebCamp /2020/West?
#
samwilson I'm not quite sure yet. If I do, it'll only be for the tail end of the days because I'm at UTC+8
#
samwilson I'm also being roped in to helping build a pergola that weekend though!

[tantek] and finally found someone (an admin) had done an "XML dump" of that MediaWiki and setup their own: http://heroeswiki.ddns.net/wiki/Main_Page
#
jacky what is accessibility
#
Loqi Accessibility is the practice of designing so that people with disabilities can have equal access to information and functionality, applicable to both websites as well as physical environments https://indieweb.org/accessibility

[jgmac1106] morning all
#
[jgmac1106] I have the hardest time maintaining mediawiki... not actual cost but the admin tax in just running and setting up...adding extensions is not for the feint of heart....then wikimedia updates and breaks all your extensions and you start over

#
jacky ^ this is something I've been capturing a bit of UX notes for
#
jacky I should add it to the wiki
#
Loqi I agree
#
jacky >_< why is the ToC so far down

#
[jgmac1106] those lists are all moments too....I just use tweetdeck, keep social media off my phone....so lists and hashtags only way I twitter
#
[jgmac1106] I do the same thing on Mastodon....one day I will finally learn difference between global and local
#
[jgmac1106] 100% Agree in UX of following ideas over people
#
[jgmac1106] but the most expensive cost of a wiki is no wiki at all: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/06/20/i-had-1000s-of-community-written-book
#
Loqi [Greg McVerry] I had 1,000s of community written book reviews , 100s of users, on wikispaces when that died. When I started over made sure it was on a place where I controlled.
