I was able to get the MediaWiki code installed and running on the Arimaa server. This is the same code used for the Wikipedia. I had been wanting to use this wiki for a long time, but always had trouble getting it setup. Finally got it setup now.
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/mwiki/
I really like the look of MediaWiki compared to Twiki. Also it is much more configurable and has a better access control system.
Eventually it would be good to get the content on the old wiki copied over to the new wiki. Anyone who would like an account on the new wiki post here or send a message through the contact page.

Omar, I'd like one to possibly add some WC game commentaries if needed.
It'd be nice if the the gameroom logins could be used for the wiki but I have no idea how hard that would be to do with mediawiki.

Thanks Omar. The email was just confirmation that didn't include a password and the gameroom password didn't seem to work. I just had it reset the password and email it to me which worked fine though.
I'll see what I can do to get the board template copied over from wikipedia as well.

Oops, looks like file uploads are disabled on the wiki. So I guess we'll need Omar to upload the images for the template directly or enable uploading.

That's what I had to do to.

I hope we can get this working. The ability to have editable board diagrams will be the most visible advantage of the new wiki over the old one.

I've enabled file uploads. Let me know if there is any other features that you would like turned on.

Thanks Omar. The board template is now copied over from wikipedia.
The one thing I noticed though is that since the template was resized last year to make it smaller the pieces no longer line up with squares on the board quite right. I'll see if I can get that fixed on both sites sometime soon.
[Edit: a test example of the template in use is on my user page]

Thanks Omar and Janzert for getting the Wiki running (with Arimaa board & pieces)!
I've begun the process of splitting the coverage onto multiple pages to avoid clutter. The main page is still here:
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/mwiki/index.php/2009_World_Championship
Each round will have a page like this:
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/mwiki/index.php/2009_Open_Classic_Round_1
I was quite excited to test out the new diagrams on the Tuks-Chessandgo game  This is a great new tool for the WC coverage.
The main tournament page now looks a bit awkward with all the links at the top. Eventually I'd like to pretty it up with those fancy navigation toolbars that are ubiquitous on Wikipedia. The kind that allow you to navigate to any page in the 2009 World Championship from any other page via a compact toolbar.
I'll try to remember to update the standings after each game on both the main page and the current round's page.

This is so awesome. Adanac, you are a much better Event Reporter than I was. The page-per-round format is great. The Tuks vs. chessandgo diagram adds immensely to the commentary. It makes it possible to get a reference point in the middle of the game, and not have to imagine everything. Now I actually want to do commentary for a game just so that I can add a diagram!

SoS is the sum of opponent score.
You have 2 because both your opponents have a score of 1.
If chessandgo wins against The_Jeh and camelback wins against you, your SoS at the end of round 2 will be 4.

Correct. Just add up the total number of wins for each of your opponents and that will tell you your Strength of Schedule (SoS).
