Srikanth,<div><br></div><div>I came across Elgg [1] An open source social networking engine. I have tried it out sometime back and found it interesting. Recently I noticed it has a Mediawiki plugin [2] [3].</div><div><br></div>
<div>It might be worthwhile to test it out with a mediawiki installation. If it is useful, we could explore further.. <a href="http://wikimedia.in">wikimedia.in</a>? Just thinking aloud.</div><div> <br>[1] <a href="http://elgg.org/">http://elgg.org/</a> </div>

<br>The advantages of this stupidity are:<br>
* Editors might find someone else who edits articles of similar nature and this will lead to more collaboration and team work.<br>* People can get feedback on their edits and can help other users improve OR improve themselves.<br>
