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.

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? ****
