transitcamp.org subdomains
Nicholas Albion
MediaWiki url structure is the way to go. Although I agree with
Tara's point, I'd still like to see the different groups as closely
bound as possible - having multiple (even if not all) cities on the
one server makes it easier for dummies to start a new group.
Currently, all I'm doing is (in essence) searching for "?City:", so
hopefully I'd be able to do something similar with
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. Otherwise, the simplest method would probably
be to place a javascript (or other) redirect on
brisbane.transitcamp.org
...I'm a complete newbie to subdomain names, could somebody please
advise if it is possible (on an affordable host) to programatically
generate subdomain names & what's involved?
My goal is to make this "moron friendly" so that any moron can create
a group for their area - and wait until somebody a bit more competent/
confident comes along and starts (un?)organising a venue, date,
sponsors etc.

Seems it should be relatively easy to have:
- wiki.transitcamp.org/city/Brisbane
or
- [www.]transitcamp.org/wiki/city/Brisbane
...I need the "city/" bit so that the system knows to treat the page
differently to a global/shared page (unless we can figure out how to
do the sub domains)
