SELinux :(

Just a note that we need to put somewhere more useful sometime: SELinux makes it difficult to install MediaWiki, and so "do you have SELinux installed?" is a useful question to ask if someone's having a very hard time installing MediaWiki. Sumanah 08:03, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

This looks like a topic that should be included in a FAQ section of Manual:Installing MediaWiki or Manual:Errors and Symptoms#Installation Errors. Actually, it's already at Manual:Errors and Symptoms#SELinux. guillom 18:39, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Good basic HTML & JavaScript tutorials/resources

• Crockford's JavaScript videos
• basic HTML & CSS tutorials
• Google's HTML/CSS/JS videos

Good examples of code to learn from

I talked with Aaron Schulz today and he mentioned that he'd prefer new developers only look at good code when seeking examples to admire and copy.

Message.php (well-structured, uses chaining)

FileBackend (less great, but good)
