Thread:Talk:Amsterdam Hackathon 2013/Removing MediaWiki from "getting started" session

The "get your development environment set up" session used to include MediaWiki setup with Vagrant. Our conference wifi couldn't handle 25 simultaneous attempts to download a 300-megabyte file, and most of the workarounds we tried were insufficient, so we've decided to instead be more thorough about getting Git set up. If you want to set up Vagrant and MediaWiki, and are having issues, and the instructions on mediawiki.org are not helping, you should contact User:MarkTraceur, who is at the event. Ori Livneh, who is also at the hackathon, can also help you.
