Configuring apache and MySQL:
	A good how-to to correctly setup the application used by mediawiki can be found there:
	http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_MediaWiki_on_Debian_GNU/Linux
	But, of course, you should NOT do the part that talks about mediawiki installation itself :)


Editing and Syntax:
	MediaWiki syntax is rather complex.
	To prevent this README file from becoming a manual, 
	we don't provide here instructions on MediaWiki syntax.
	But you can point your browser to this page:
	http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing
	Where you will find all that you'd like to know about it!
