Sergey did the theming, logos, graphics and everything else of a visual nature. I just told him "I want everything to look the same" and we argued amongst ourselves over a set of logos. Aron called our corporate logo "the swastika" so we compromised and he/mike got the tree for the .org site and the straight edged african mask logo will be for the corporate site. Anyhow, I highly recommend him. He was a great find. He did have to use midnight commander, but that is the only mark against him ;-) Although he's far from local (Russia), he is very professional and responsive. A rarity. No other attempts to outsource have worked out nearly as well on our part!

The part about themeing that is hard (other than me having no artistic ability whatsoever) is that the documentation was or is not straight about what is done for what version. that and phpBB, Bugzilla, Blojsom and viewvc were all very different in how they are skinned.

isn't really that hard. I actually found that other than dealing with
RHEL's PHP version issues that Mediawiki was one of the easiest pieces
of sever side software that I configured/installed. Probably more
there is X and Y which you want it to do.

Andy,

What resources did you use to create the theme on your buni.org site?
I agree that Mediawiki is fairly easy to setup and configure, but theming
it seems to be somewhat of a black art (or at least I haven't been able
to find good docs on it).

Thanks,
Tanner
