·         Name Confirmed. 

SWEET - Semantic Wiki Easy Editor Tool

Predict that we will not be able to get the website for www.sweet.com, www.sweet.net and www.sweet.org. Fangyan doubled checked and all the three domains above have already been used. So we need to find alternatives for the website name.

 

·         LOGO

A compass in the middle with two crossed hands writing at each side. The main idea is as follows:

Two crossed hands with pens in each means you can edit on my paper and I can edit on your paper, so we can see each other's work and share the information. The goal of using wiki is information sharing. And the compass is specifically for the functionality 'super link' that we are going to implement. We provide the user to have the desired link that they would like to put into their text. That's kind of the navigation to them... We hope this handy tool will be a SWEET gift for the users.

The idea comes from Special Olympics Game logo.

However, since the crossed hands are so difficult to draw, we might simply use two hands at each side.

·         MediaWiki Installation and Configuration Alternatives:

Installed by the install script:

Brian fill in  this part.

 

Installed and configured manually:

First step (install):

1. Install IIS, check it is working;

2. Unzip php.zip to a simple directory, like "f:\php\";

3. Install MySQL

 

Second step (copy files):

1. Copy files php5ts.dll, libmysql.dll, php.ini(in f: \php) and php5ts.lib(in f: \php\dev\), php_mysql.dll(in f: \php\ext) to $windows directory\system32\

 

Note: rename php.ini-dist or php.ini-recommended to php.ini

 

Third step (configuration):

1. Open IIS manager (in the control panel), right click on default site, click properties, it will pop up a new window, click directory tab, then click settings, click "configuration", then "browse", to find the file "php5isapi.dll" (in f: \php\), extension is ".php". then ok. Click another tab "documents", add "index.php". exit.

This step is called Application mapping, see the link below for details.

http://localhost/iishelp/iis/misc/default.asp?jumpurl=../htm/asp/apro9tkj.htm

 

2. Open "php.ini" in directory system32,

 Find "extension_dir", change it to "f: \php\ext",

 Find "extension=php_mysql.dll", uncomment it (delete the ";" before it).

 Find "extension=php_gd2.dll", uncomment it (delete the ";" before it). 

 Find "mysql.default_port", change it to 3306.

 Find "mysql.default_host", change it to localhost.

 Find "mysql.default_user", here, use the username you input when you install mySQL.

             Find "mysql.default_password", as above.

           

3. Move the unzipped folder of mediawiki to F:\Inetpub\wwwroot, its better to rename the folder to wiki. Access your new MediaWiki installation at http://localhost/wiki. Click on the set the wiki up link and follow the instructions there for the configuration.  After filling out the form, just click install and MediaWiki will generate a file named LocalSettings.php under the directory f:\inetpub\wwwroot\wiki\config\LocalSettings.php, move this file to the parent directory. Than browse http://localhost/wiki, you can see your wiki is up and running.
