MediaWiki Project
MediaWiki is the wiki application that underlies Wikipedia and many other websites. It is written in PHP and licensed as open source under the GPL. Historically, it has run on MySQL, but it does have a sophisticated database abstraction layer that provides support for PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, and other databases.
Our main goals for this project are to:
-
integrate DB2 support with the new MediaWiki installer being developed for the 1.17release;
- debug the core wiki functionality on DB2;
- implement search, possibly taking advantage of DB2’s Full Text Search features.
This project is being developed by André, César, Daniel and Diego.
