What software does it use?

Have you considered using it as a base to make general wiki software?

Your software seems to be the best of the wikis--at least more straight forward than Twiki, even though I know what "Diff" means, I prefer "Older versions" -smkatz

Please see en:Wikipedia:Technical FAQ and http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/. Note that while a number of other sites do use our software, I don't presently recommend it unless you're prepared to get involved in development: there's a lot of hard-coded special case code, and plenty of exciting bugs and problems. --Brion VIBBER 18:48 13 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] What version of mediawiki is meta using?

Stable or beta? Or can someone point me to a location with this info? --Nevermind, found it on main page

[edit] New purpose

Since Elian has suggested merging the Foundation wiki here, Meta needs to be kept cleaner. I suggest all translations move to a new wiki (one that will, in future, hopefully have real translation software attached), test wikis go to a new demo place as discussed in a recent meeting, and the help goes to http://mediawiki.org since that now has its own wiki.
