== How to use wikipediafs togehter with netlabs wiki ==
This article describes how it is possible to use wikipediafs to edit
content on the [http://wiki.netlabs.org/ Netlabs wiki].

=== Installing wikipediafs ===
Wikipediafs is a userspace filesystem that uses the fuse module available in
Linux to mount the wiki. Thus you need to have this module installed on your
system. The following command tells you if it is installed:

lsmod | grep fuse

On my system I got the following result:

TP42:/mnt/wiki/wiki.netlabs.org# lsmod | grep fuse
fuse 36108 2

On top of that python and python-fuse are needed. If you are using Debian you
can install all packages necessary with apt-get.

Now you need to create a directory where the wikis will be mounted to:

mkdir /mnt/wiki
This will create the directory wiki in mount directory.

=== Configuring wikipediafs ===
On the first run wikipediafs will copy its configuration file to the user's
home directory. As the access to the fuse commands is only permitted for
superusers start wikipediafs as root. Note that the last parameter has
to be the point where the wikipediafs should mount.

TP42:~/.wikipediafs# mount.wikipediafs /mnt/wiki/

In case everything worked no messages are printed. Otherwise there are a lot
of error messages printed, indicating what the problem was.

Now you have to unmount the directory again.

umount /mnt/wiki

The next step is to update the config.xml in the .wikipediafs directory
of root's home.

Add a section that looks like the following:
<site>
<dirname>wiki.netlabs.org</dirname>
<host>wiki.netlabs.org</host>
<basename>/index.php</basename>
<username>Username</username>
<password>secret</password>
</site>

My config.xml looks as follows:

<wfs-config>
<general>

<article-cache-time>300</article-cache-time>
</general>
<sites>
<site>
<dirname>wiki.netlabs.org</dirname>
<host>wiki.netlabs.org</host>
<basename>/index.php</basename>
<username>Username</username>
<password>secret</password>
</site>
</sites>
</wfs-config>

=== Using wikipediafs===
First it is needed to mount the wiki again.
mount.wikipediafs /mnt/wiki
Now there will be a directory /mnt/wiki/wiki.netlabs.org/. It will be empty as
there is no directory listing.

==== Editing files ====
The file has to exist on the server. To edit a page called 'Ideas' the file has
to be loaded from the server first. Use cat for instance to do that:
TP42:/mnt/wiki/wiki.netlabs.org# cat Ideas
This is the content of the page called Ideas... [..]

The directory should contain a file named Ideas by now. It can by edited with
any text editor. When the file is saved it is posted to the server.

==== Copying files ====
