Hi,
Please see below:
1) Porting/safety download of the wiki
There will be two things you need to safety download.
From the FTP and the MYSQL database.
The FTP contains the LocalSettings.php, which provide the settings for the
wiki
and the extensions (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions).
The FTP also contain the images that is uploaded to the wiki.
The wiki entries are written to a MYSQL database, which is the important
one
to
backup.
For safety reasons, I suggest a model where you get the passwords to the
FTP
and the
MYSQL database. If you then can make a backup script that on a weekly/daily
basis
make a dump of the FTP and the MYSQL database, and make that available
external,
I think that is the best model. I would be insecure about sharing the
passwords for other
than trusted people.
There is a better way that this could be done on the server which
would be secure. On the machine with the wiki, the SQL database
contents could be dumped daily into a file using a cron job. For
example, see:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/09/backup-and-restore-mysql-database-using-mysqldump/
This file, as well as all others, could then be exposed via a URL (for
example by uploading the files to the relax download site
http://download.gna.org/relax/). Then relax developers could then use
a script to remotely backup the wiki.
2) Setting up: wiki.nmr-relax.com
I see that it is working, but there is a DNS problem, which prevent user
creation,
log in/out and editing.
According to my brother you need to tweak your DNS provider. You have
GoDaddy and DNS via domaincontrol.com. You should set up a CNAME
record and point to IP 217.116.232.203.
Let's take this off-list.
Ok, I'll write another mail to get the required private details. The
Godaddy CNAME records however cannot be numeric IP addresses, only
domain names. I might need a list of all the details required for the
DNS record (A records, CNAME records, etc.). I'm not an expert when
it comes to DNS zone files, so the more details the better.
3) Scripts for the wiki
I was part of migrating all the scripts at the pymolwiki into a shared
pymol-script-repo
at Github. The advantages are many. Read here for reference.
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git
I wrote all these entries at the pymol wiki.
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_install
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_authors
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_script_guidelines
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_admin
For the wiki, Thomas Holder made a "wiki box". (A dynamic page thing)
One just write in the wiki entry:
{{Infobox script-repo
|type = script
|filename = propka.py
|author = [[User:Tlinnet|Troels E. Linnet]]
|license = BSD
}}
You can for example see it here:
http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Propka
If one in the top-right click 'propka.py', you are
redirected to the "raw" view at github.
There is color and raw view available
https://github.com/Pymol-Scripts/Pymol-script-repo/blob/master/propka.py
https://raw.github.com/Pymol-Scripts/Pymol-script-repo/master/propka.py
I suggest we setup up a similar system.
Creating an "organisation" at at gihub, for the merged scripts.
Developers can then fork, modify, and make a "pull request" from their
repo to the organisation repo.
Note, that the traffic is "quite" low.
But one could make tutorials, analysing scripts, matplot lib plotting.
Etc etc.
The good thing with this, is that this will provide a "fast track"
development for
users. Making it more "fun" for new NMR people, with script background.
Users do not need to "care" to much about backwards compatibility.
If the wiki pages have a large hit-rate, the functionality could then be
considered
to be official implemented in the relax source code.
This all looks and sounds great. You can set this up if you like.
All decisions should be discussed on this mailing list first though.
For example the github group name and organisation. I also suggest
that users be required to put a copyright notice on the top of their
scripts with their name and the year, and licence the script under a
GPL3+ compatible licence.
4) Graphic icon
Sure ! I already stole one icon from the repo. Can you point out which one?
With the FTP access, you can also do it ourself. :-)
Upload it to: /skins/common/images
And modify LocalSettings.php at the entry:
$wgLogo = "$wgStylePath/common/images/ulysses.png";
I'll sign up and look into this. The file would be one of the
graphics/ulysses*_trans* images.
5) Name: relax
I have modified the name, and will try to remember forwards.
Note, that you can create a user, and do it your self. :-)
I suggest you create two users.
I will grant one admin rights, and in the daily, I suggest logging
in with the "plain" user, to prevent accidentally clicking one of the
"power" buttons.
Ok, I'll do this.
6) Organisation.
You can change the title/pages/categories, as you find fit. :-)
As for organisation of pages/categories, I agree that we should have that
in
mind.
But before we/I use to much energy, I think we should wait a "little" to
let
the information
grow. Then we can take a "cleaning/organisation" round.
I for example, will only cover material/tutorials/install instructions that
is directly usable for
"our" group, which is dynamics in us time scale. I "hope" that groups which
will benefit
for detailed instructions on their type of analysis, will provide the
entries needed.
This sounds ok.

I have made a License page, and protected it for admins only modification:

I made these changes

Great! I'll now look into signing up for the wiki.
Cheers,
