+== MediaWiki ==
+
+MediaWiki is the software used for Wikipedia [http://www.wikipedia.org/] and the
+other Wikimedia Foundation websites. Compared to other wikis, it has an
+excellent range of features and support for high-traffic websites using
+multiple servers (Wikimedia sites peak in the 100K+ requests per second range
+as of January 2012).
+
+While quite usable on smaller sites, you may find you have to "roll your own"
+local documentation, and some aspects of configuration may seem overcomplicated
+because MediaWiki is primarily targeted as an in-house tool.
+
+The MediaWiki software was written by:
+* Lee Daniel Crocker
+* Magnus Manske
+* Jan Hidders
+* Brion Vibber
+* Axel Boldt
+* Geoffrey T. Dairiki
+* Tomasz Wegrzanowski
+* Erik Moeller

+* Gabriel Wicke
+* Antoine Musso
+* Evan Prodromou
+* Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
