• Upgrade to Drupal 6
  • is it wise to attempt this before the conference?
  • can one go from 4 to 6 directly? or is 5 needed before 6?
• Add plugin for managing users such as Userplus?
• Add ReCaptcha plugin for managing spam?
  • may not be worth the setup, as spam accounts have died down and now wickr gets emails on new accounts so it's easier to watch
• Single Sign On for other sites.
  • CAS Server? OpenID/OAuth? Something else?
• Do more with profiles or directory of people on the site

• Remove /index.php/ from URLs
  • difficult to have inclusive rewrite rules which hit articles but leave wiki working files alone
  • wickr tried http://www.delphster.net/?p=117 it kinda worked but broke other stuff
  • more options at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL but nothing that stands out yet
• Add plugin for code syntax highlighting - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi
  • SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi is no longer compatible with 1.11, despite what the Extension page says
