Vuzit MediaWiki Extension

Evan Sultanik has written a simple extension for MediaWiki that allows you to display documents inside your MediaWiki instance! MediaWiki is the open source software behind the Wikipedia online encyclopedia which claims 5% of all internet traffic. We are grateful for the time Evan spent developing and documenting the extension, and this just shows the power of the developer community when they are given an open development platform.

Here are the links:
- Vuzit MediaWiki Extension - includes installation instructions
- Example - Evan built the extension to display his Curriculum Vitæ

After installation, the following snippet is all you need to embed a document with the default settings:

We are anxious to see the search and Flickr mashups that get developed using our Image APIs. If you have some ideas, please let us know.

Update (4/25/2008): This is now listed in the MediaWiki extensions directory. Thanks Evan!
