Hello folks,

I (once again) came across this issue and googled a bit. I've found out couple of resources, both of which are quite outdated but they might be good starting points (and someone on the list might be interested). I haven't tried any of them. Do post on the list if anyone finds this good. :)

http://www.etcwiki.org/wiki/How_to_install_template_infobox_in_mediawiki

Best,

Hey Ram! Welcome to mediawiki-india :)

Agreed on all points, and I see some parts where we could collaborate and start putting together stuff. If I'm reading this right, here are the potential projects that might be done:

1. A default mediawiki installation bundle (MW + A bunch of Extensions)
2. A default 'templatekit' (Commonly used templates from enwiki / other wikis)
3. Better 'levels' of information/deetail on the Manual

Perhaps we could start doing internal hackathons (online, with experienced people from the India MW community pitching in) to do these things? These won't be workshops, but online events for us to get stuff done. Thoughts?

Semantic Mediawiki is a lot of fun (despite a few performance problems that prevent it from being used on large wikis). Nischay is a contributor for SMW from India, but I don't think he's on this list yet. I'll forward this to him and see what we can do about that too!

Thanks!

P.S. I'll forward this to mediawiki-l in a while, since I think it is relevant there too.
