There is at least some new evidence that for at least some users...discovery
patterns are moving toward library interfaces after having a steady decline [1].
It seems plausible to me that this shift may correlate to the change in tools
and attitudes that has led to integrated discovery layers be

Hi Folks,
My google fu isn't working.
Does anyone know of an extension, something native, or a methodology to
get a content inventory of a mediawiki site.
We're trying to get a report that includes

Thanks for any advice
I've used framework/language specific groups (e.g. drupal.org) where I
think the broad skill set might be represented, even when I'm not looking
for that specific competency. And local university program job lists

Hi Folks,
My query may have been poorly expressed...
What we have is a webserver with 64,665 files (html, css, js, jpg, you get
the idea) and lots of directories with subdirectories.
The goal is to be able to conveniently take all that in in a way that
