By the way Mariya, why have the lists of vendors and consultants vanished?
Shouldn't the vendors page be re-created with only vendors? Discussion on the
discussion page and sites using MW on that page?

Shouldn't the vendors page consist

This is a great idea, Yury, and it's already
producing some collaboration! I would encourage everyone to share about what they do as
well. Conversation is always good. You never know what can come out of it!

Hi Yury,
It would be good to know, what is the purpose of the write up you are asking for?
The short answer is that I want to know more about the MediaWiki companies for possible
cooperation and collaboration. I'm preparing the write-up myself, obviously.
1) It's a good way to say hello - "you are what you do". There are some
companies around us but not many of them have the portfolio. Maybe we're working in
the similar area and can provide each other services, outsource some tasks to each other,
re-use the code, discuss the business models. Why not to post these success stories on
mw.org to advertise yourself and to make the market bigger and bigger?
2) The experience exchange is always good. Maybe the story about the say educational wiki
for the Hungarian school will inspire us to make similar project for the Russian school?
3) the answers to some questions can be interesting per se: e.g. if you have the open
repository of your extensions and skin, I will try them with pleasure. Maybe somebody will
see that they can provide their solutions, that are more sophisticated.
Regards,
Jack

Subject: [Mediawiki-enterprise] Your success stories?
Hi guys!
Can anybody tell about the success story you've had with MediaWiki?
If you're not a good writer, here is the list of interesting questions. Of course you
can describe your story without looking at them.
- What was the project about?
- Who was the customer? Was it an open project?
- What the community looked like? Where those people on the wiki came from?
- Why you've chosen MediaWiki and not another solution?
- Did you program anything additional for MediaWiki, did you integrate with some other
services and applications?
- Or maybe you've elaborated some tricky methodology?
- How did the project change the life of your customer?
- Was the community motivated? How active they were?
- Did you provide any kind of support and consulting?
- Maybe you've provided admins, moderators, facilitators? How did you teach them?
- Did you have any trainings?
- Anything about money? $-)
- What obstacles and difficulties have you faced?
- How much time did you spend on a different stages of your project?
- Do you have any open results? The project itself, the skins, extensions, papers,
articles, photos of the happy users?
- What have you learnt from the project?
- In general: was it worth it?
Cheers,
