Those of you familiar with wikipedia may know that a perl command line client called mvs was created by Mark Jaroski ( http://search.cpan.org/~markj/WWW-Mediawiki-Client/bin/mvs ).

In order to use it on this wiki, here is a simple howto


First, install mvs, from perl-WWW-Mediawiki-Client.

urpmi perl-WWW-Mediawiki-Client

Then, create a directory to hold the checkout

mkdir ~/checkout/mvs/mandriva/
cd ~/checkout/mvs/mandriva/

Then, you have to login on the wiki :

mvs login -d mdv.vmlinuz.ca -u Login -p password -w "/index.php"

And checkout the page you want to edit :

# do not forget the extension ".wiki"
$ mvs up Development/Howto/Maintainer.wiki            

Doing up Development/Howto/Maintainer.wiki with host: mdv.vmlinuz.ca and
lang: en
U Development/Howto/Maintainer.wiki

Then you can modify with vim, or what you want :

$ vim Development/Howto/Maintainer.wiki

And finaly, you can send it :

$ mvs commit -m "ue is deprecated, remove it from the doc"
Development/Howto/Maintainer.wiki
Doing commit Development/Howto/Maintainer.wiki with host: mdv.vmlinuz.ca
and lang: en
$

and that's it : http://mdv.vmlinuz.ca/index.php?title=Development%2FHowto%2FMaintainer&diff=3046&oldid=2516
