Hi! I’m working on the new EA Wiki (http://wiki.effectivealtruismhub.com/w/index.php?title=Effective_Altruism_Wikihttps://impact.hackpad.com/EA-Wiki-y8z6wp5yCxD). I’ve been distracted by preparing for the MIRI/CFAR summer fellows thing for the past month and a bit, but have been encouraged to try and get it public before EA Global. I should be able to get the bits I’d like ready in time, except for Single Sign On (which is important because wikis have massive spam problems otherwise, and it would allow people to contribute without making a new account lowering barrier to entry).
My plan was to use OAuth, the MediaWiki extension is slightly outdated but looks like it should work (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OAuthAuthentication) but the extension for drupal which would be needed for eahub to be an oauth provider (https://www.drupal.org/project/oauthloginprovider) seems quite outdated. I’m open to suggestions for other ways to handle SSO, but would like to hand it to someone else so I can focus on the bits of setup I’m already familiar with.
Edit: It appears I can’t register an account to edit the wiki yet. Let me know when I can do this, or if there is criteria for being able to do so. Or, is it just the same account as the main EA Hub login?
I don’t have much in the way of technical skills. However, now that this is online, I can and will sign up and add lots of content.
Sorry for the delay, most of the content creation was being done on the old wikia site (where registrations were open), and now the new wiki is open to registration with your google account http://wiki.effectivealtruismhub.com/
Testing pluggins for MediaWiki and drupal, likely updating them to be compatible with the latest versions, possibly adjusting a few parameters so they pass each other the right info.
Additionaly, if anyone is interested in helping with web design for the main page or pre-launch content, let me know and I’ll make you an account (signups are disabled to keep out the spambots which plague unprotected wikis).

Is anyone interested in helping out?

What sort of technical skills does this require? Is it mainly testing out a few plugins for MediaWiki (or WordPress or whatever)?

Does this mainly just require knowing CSS? Or can you do mockups in a graphics program and leave the CSS to someone else?
Preferably CSS as well, but having mockups may be useful to whoever writes it up.
