[edit] 1 MVS

For general info on mvs, see http://www.ict4e.net/wiki/Mvs . In particular, you need to install mvs on your system. Once you have installed mvs, made a directory where you wiki pages will live. In a terminal window, go to that directory and type this command

mvs login -d oer.aptivate.org -u YOUR_USER_NAME -p YOUR_PASSWORD

The settings will be recorded in a local file, and in future you can just type (from the same directory):

mvs login

To obtain a wiki page, e.g. Main Page, type

mvs update Main_Page.wiki

Note that the command isn't "mvs update Main_Page", but that there is a ".wiki" extension. To send a modified page to the wiki, type

mvs commit -m 'commit message' Main_Page.wiki

[edit] 2 Notes

• Make sure you get a patched mvs version (c.f. http://www.ict4e.net/wiki/Mvs )
• Mediawiki text has got long lines, don't let your editor break them. (Google "wikipedia long lines" to find out why.). In emacs, you can enable longlines-mode to visually break long lines.
