You can configure MediaWiki to use an external SMTP server, I wrote up a set of instructions on this a while back: http://snowulf.com/2011/08/30/configuring-mediawiki-to-use-external-smtp/ You can also take a look at the manual for $wgSMTP at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSMTP The

The reality is that _most_ people use the same username and password everywhere. So an attacker compromises phpBB or Wordpress (or name your favorite vunerable software here) somewhere and just uses those same credentials at other sites. If the user, by chance, didn't use the same password for

When en.wn switched to LQT, we started to get a decent amount more comments per article. Not that all the comments we got were necessarily good, but it did show that more people had been wanting to comment than were doing so with the old system (IE regular wiki pages). -Jon On Wed, Oct 12, 2011

I see what he's talking about. The page loads, then the site notice javascript loads (pushing the page down) then the central notice loads. It is rather obnoxious that the central notice loads a noticeable amount _after_ everything else. The div (or what ever container it is) could at least be

Turning down expiration times for a maintenance isn't unusual. It allows sites to redirect everyone to an alternate location for a very short duration. As for an anycast, I doubt that would be cost effective. After all the Foundation gets upwards of 400mil unique visitors a month and (I've
