Sitting here at a conference, I partcipated in an open conversation titled “Wiki in 24 hours”. During the conversation, I:

• Downloaded MediaWiki, and unzipped it in my Sites directory.
• Logged into MySQL, and created a database and user for the wiki
• Made sure my web server was turned on, then navigated to the wiki home page. It then asked me to fill out the config info necessay, ala WordPress (thanks Alex). Once I saved the config, I needed to move it from the config directory to the root directory, and…
• Profit!

A part of the conversation spawned discussions about how to start a wiki community within a company, and how it succeeds/fails. Together, we just started wiki101.org for discussing and helping with community startups using wiki technology.
