MediaWiki is not targeted at internal office use. While some people do
use
it successfully in this market, we offer no support, have no
marketing,
make no income from it, and don't make any effort whatsoever to be more
than
tolerable for it.
This makes me wonder, why not offer paid support? Why not charge a yearly fee for regular support, and an hourly or bounty fee for programming support (that is if the programming support also goes in line with the direction of the software, WYSIWYG for example)?
It seems a large number of organizations are using the software, and I'm sure quite a few would pay for support. Couldn't this offset some of the development costs, and possibly bring in more developers?
V/r,
