Snuggle is a newcomer observation and support system for MediaWiki communities 
(like Wikipedia) originally developed by Aaron Halfaker 
(aaron.halfaker@gmail.com) as part of his dissertation research.  Snuggle is 
designed to allow experienced wiki mentors to observe the activities of newly 
registered editors and separate desirable newcomers (good-faith & productive) 
from the undesirables (bad-faith & vandals).

The system has two major components:
  synchronizer:
    Keeps Snuggle's data model in sync with a MediaWiki installation
  user interface:
    Provides a visualization of newcomer activities and supports a configurable
    set of actions that effect the wiki.

These components manifest as server processes that can be started independently
via binaries provided in the base directory (see syncd and webd).  There are 
three relevant configuration files you'll need to provide the scripts at 
start-up:
 - the snuggle configuration (see config/snuggle.yaml):
   This configuration file describes the behavior of Snuggle components
 - the MediaWiki configuration (see config/enwiki.medaiwiki.yaml):
   This configuration file describes important characteristics of the MediaWiki
   installation that Snuggle is running against.
 - the language configuration file (see config/english.language.yaml):
   This configuration file describes the language to be used in the user 
   interface.  

Example synchronizer startup:
  
  % ./syncd config/snuggle.yaml config/mediawiki.yaml


Example web user interface startup:
  
  % ./webd config/snuggle.yaml config/mediawiki.yaml config/i18n.yaml
