Hi all - I finally got annoyed with people using the Contact Us feature on mahara.org to complain that Mahara was too difficult to install. So I rewrote the installation instructions, and while I was at it, separated them out into a bunch of new pages.

I'd appreciate feedback on them!

• http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator's_Guide/Installing_Mahara - I gutted the FAQs and elaborations in it (e.g. the MySQL vs. PostgreSQL debate) and put those in separate pages
• http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator's_Guide/Requirements - new page with that gives great detail about the software and hardware requirements
• http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator's_Guide/Scalability - new page with information about scaling Mahara. Not complete yet!
• http://wiki.mahara.org/Developer_Area/Getting_Code_from_Git - short article on how to get code from git
• http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator's_Guide/Next_Steps - what you should do once you've installed your Mahara
• http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator's_Guide/Moodle//Mahara_Integration - just links to the Mahoodle PDF, but in time it'll hold all the instructions there for setting it up
• http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator's_Guide/PostgreSQL_or_MySQL%3f - the developer's views on postgres vs. mysql
• http://wiki.mahara.org/System_Administrator's_Guide/Cron_Job - more information on the cron job
