Mediawiki - Wordpress integration - authenticates MW users against WP login databse, based on bbPress Auth for MediaWiki, requires PHP4 and MW 1.6.9 (latest MW version that uses PHP4)

New feature on Wordpress.com: avatars available since 2006
WPMU Avatar widget users will be able to navigate to their Profile page and upload their own photo. The photo will appear next to their comments across your WPMU site, and, if they use my Author Profile Enhanced widget, in their sidebar next to their “About Me” text (demo)
- based on Profile Pics plugin
- The "can't upload" issue:
  - Subdirectory fix, subdomain fix (don't work?)
  - Upload form fix (for IE7 only?) open up wp-admin/profiles.php, find the form line about 15 lines down and change it to this: <form name="profile" id="your-profile" action="profile-update.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Post Avatar allows choosing from a predetermined set of images
Gravatar allows you to generate a gravatar URL complete with rating, size, default, and border options; it also shows LiveJournal userpics in comments
Localized comment avatar allows readers to specify a name, e-mail address and/or URL that they will always use when commenting, and to upload and assign an image to this combination of specified values
Sexy Comments plugin has avatar support

style.css:

#topimg: change header picture (header_dkblue.jpg)
#header_title: increase the font size to 30px, add ITC Franklin Gothic Book to the font list, change change padding-top from 155px to 70px and remove text-transform: uppercase
#header_title2: increase the font size to 20px, add ITC Franklin Gothic Book to the font list and remove text-transform: uppercase

we might consider setting ours up like that as well. e.g. http://feeds.feedburner.com/openwetware/shareyourscience would be the name of mine.

From Jenny: the font I used was ITC Franklin Gothic Book. Jason was wondering about the font being square. Any of the Franklin Gothic fonts will give you the "roundedness" that the theme has that I drafted.
From http://pineda-krch.com/2007/07/08/hello-world/ via Jason:
- Subscribe to Comments plugin
- syntax highlighting for code
