I have a lifetime of tech experience but I am a newb with MediaWiki.
I have started a project which you can find here
http://www.ravepreservationproject.com/
I installed MediaWiki which was a piece of cake but I am having difficulties figuring out how to start the configuring it to fit my needs.
I believe what I need is pretty straight forward. If you can help please respond.
I would like a home page with several categories that a user can click to view or search. (If I have the terminology wrong please correct me. Ex: Do I need groups, categories, something else?)
The top level categories are
artist dj promoter party event venue and/or location set recorders lighting visuals
Once I have these categories set up I would like to add the ability for users to comment on a page in each category as well as edit or create their own pages in each category.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Matthew
