For a start on SMW the user manual on www.semantic-mediawiki.org is quite good, even better ist Yaron Koren's book http://workingwithmediawiki.com/ (not only covering SMW, but MediaWiki in general). There are also user and developer mailing lists I'd recommend you to join: https://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki_mailing_lists
It seems SMW can do pretty much everything. I think I will have to rewrite my whole extension to port it into SMW. And may be I would require to go through the SMW user manual and some examples thoroughly to get a clear picture of it. Being a GSoC student, my midterm evaluation has begun and 27th 19:00 UTC is the deadline. So for a beginner with mediawiki and SMW, is it possible to port the whole extension into SMW within a month, taking into account the time span allowed for GSoC? Right now I am confused whether I should continue with my own extension for which I have worked hard or should I go for porting to SMW? I have no idea how much time will it take to understand and rewrite extension in SMW. Please give some advice.
