Indeed, looks good...
@Ned: You thought about the youtube channel?
Might be something worth to discuss with the team...

Nice work mad max!
Yeah, that XBMC youtube video channel would be awesome - especially as XBMC has a google+ account so I would be part of the same account?

keymap.xml now redirects to Keyboard.xml, but feel free to update the links directly.
I'll pass on the suggestion about a youtube channel to the others. We should also be able to embed youtube videos directly onto pages as well. I'll look into it.
Keep up the great work, guys!

I may hold fire on uploading pictures, I think videos make more sense and the user can pause when they want.
Hmm...

It would be nice to have both, since people can (in theory) take content form the wiki to make a printed manual, and it would mean we would always have a copy of all the content on our side. It also depends on what's being illustrated.
In any case, the wiki extension is installed and configured, but seems the documentation on it didn't mention that it requires MediaWiki 1.18, which right now isn't a final release but at RC1. I'm debating using a different extension, using MW 1.18 RC1, or just waiting for the final release of MW 1.18 (next few days maybe? RC1 came out Nov 18th).
Soon though, soon.

MediaWiki 1.18 came out yesterday. I just have to wait for someone with enough server access to wake up and we can update, which will give us the ability to embed youtube videos.

Hey Ned, had a quick google but came up with nothing. If you have the time could you post an example of what code to add to embed a youtube video.
Cheers!

It's not enabled yet. I was going to ask for help with the wiki upgrade, but at the time everyone was deep in technical talk about stuff for Eden, so I didn't want to impose.
I haven't actually used this mediawiki extension before, but basically what happens is certain users (by default, everyone) have the ability to associate a youtube (or video from a list of other services) with a name on the wiki. You give it a url and it gives you a file name like
Video:Video name (wiki), which is also how you embed it. It's kind of like uploading an image, except nothing is uploaded.
The documentation and help page for the extension is at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Video and will give you a basic idea of what can be done with it.
