social bookmarking button in WikiEducator navigation sidebar

[Jim Tittsler]

We have tried a social bookmarking button in the WikiEducator
navigation sidebar for the past couple of years. Unfortunately this
implementation has some privacy concerns and technical limitations
that make it less than ideal as a global solution.

If you frequently share information via one of the social media sites,
you probably already have browser extensions or "bookmarklets" that do
a better job. If you would like to restore the button we have been
testing for your own use, you can copy the line:

importScript('User:JimTittsler/AddThis.js');

into your WikiEducator custom Javascript file (usually either
http://WikiEducator.org/Special:MyPage/vector.js or
http://WikiEducator.org/Special:MyPage/monobook.js, depending upon
your skin preference).

My thanks to Kim Tucker for launching this discussion on the
WikiEducator-tech mailing list. If you have an interest in the
technology running WikiEducator, I encourage you to get involved there
as well.
