OK, to get this community portal going... is this the place to report issues with the wiki server configuration? Anyway, its time-zone setting seems to be a bit odd. It's set (apparently) to UTC + 4 hours (somewhere in Asia?), but it thinks it's in UTC, so if you set up your user configuration to adjust it to your local time zone, it ends up 4 hours off. I had to use "-08:00" to get my current EDT time. (That will change by one hour in a week or two when Daylight Saving Time ends.)

The Wiki is obviously working (yay), but it would be nice if the MediaWiki .htaccess file was [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache adjusted] so that the index.php disappears from wiki URLs. | The Wiki is obviously working (yay), but it would be nice if the MediaWiki .htaccess file was [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache adjusted] so that the index.php disappears from wiki URLs. | ||

I'm not lawyer but I don't think declaring the content here Public Domain (US) as discussed in the [[FAQ]] will have desirable consequences outside the United States. It's been my experience working with datasets published by the US federal government that people outside the US are uncertain about whether or not they can use the data. I think using CC0 would be preferable to just saying Public Domain, if you really want to encourage reuse.

Issues
Below is a list of "issues" which would ordinarily be in a ticketing system of some kind, but are here on the Wiki instead, because that's how we roll. When things are resolved feel free to remove or strike out the issue.
Time zone setting
OK, to get this community portal going... is this the place to report issues with the wiki server configuration? Anyway, its time-zone setting seems to be a bit odd. It's set (apparently) to UTC + 4 hours (somewhere in Asia?), but it thinks it's in UTC, so if you set up your user configuration to adjust it to your local time zone, it ends up 4 hours off. I had to use "-08:00" to get my current EDT time. (That will change by one hour in a week or two when Daylight Saving Time ends.) Dan Tobias (talk) 22:23, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
index.php
The Wiki is obviously working (yay), but it would be nice if the MediaWiki .htaccess file was adjusted so that the index.php disappears from wiki URLs.
Licensing
