Many people seem to think that it's a problem wit= h folder write permissions. There is discussion here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread= :Project:Support_desk/Trouble_uploading_after_installation

The fact is that those d= irectories have already been 777-ised. Earlier we could upload images. I re= ally don't know what happened.

(The same type of error message came= up for both .svg and .png files.)

If the= primary language is Lojban, are you, doi la gleki. .e la .iesk., fine with= importing all the pages from TWiki to LMW? Lots of them are in English.

Since I have so far not contributed anything usefu= l to LMW, my opinion does not weigh much.

I repeat that my idea of t= he wiki was that there be no 'primary language' for content pages. Everybod= y would write pages in the language(s) of their preference. I don't think i= t likely that there will be systematic translations of all LMW pages in all= LMW languages (whichever that may be). Most content will probably be in En= glish anyway (TWiki imports included), who would translate all that stuff? = So why not have a page in, say, French, link to relevant pages in, say, Eng= lish, Lojban, =85 I have been arguing *against* any primary language,= because that would, to my understanding, mean that you have to write (or w= ait for somebody to write) a page about 'broda' in the primary language bef= ore you can add a page about 'broda' in the language that you want.

Unfortunately I have no idea of a mechan= ism of creating a wiki without any primary language. And LMW is after all a= linguistic project. The core of Lojbanistan is Lojban which is a language.= Anyway LMW-contributors must know at least some basic lojban. This will be= enough to create new pages in simple lojban first and then creating it's "= translation" in another language e.g. English.

I already noticed first attempts of spamming in LMW f= rom anonymous users. Threrefore
ConfirmEdit extension installed to preve= nt spamming. ReCaptcha mode activated for new users. It makes us dependent = on third-party ReCaptcha service, but it's the simplest solution.

I'm holding off any work I said or hi= nted I'd be doing (working on the community portal and migrating) until I g= et a clear picture of what the site organization is going to be [1]:
<= div>
* Who is the target audience?
* What content w= ill it have, in what language?

As far as I underst= and, there are two interests at hand:

* Target aud= ience: Lojban speakers
* Content: Anything in Lojban? / Translati= on projects, Lojbanic writings, Lojbanists index

*= Target audience: Lojban learners
* Content: Learning materials i= n English and other languages around the world

I= na=EFvely thought of a home for all things Lojbanic. ;)

If this is the cas= e, I think it's not out of the question to maintain two separate wikis for = each: lojban.org and ckule.lojban.org. I= n MediaWiki, there is a way to share the extensions folder and such to less= en the admininstrative task. If there are corresponding pages between the t= wo, they can be linked to each other in the way Wikipedia links pages in ot= her languages.

Any thoughts?
