Hi all,

Should we set up a demonstration wiki?

I'm thinking it might be good to have a wiki to experiment with different things, such as software requirements. I have been tinkering on a Genealogy extension, — it's super-basic and doesn't do much. (That's by design, really, because I didn't want to build features such as citation management or image handling that are not specific to genealogy.

It's probably not a place to put permanent information (although it could be that too), but we could install MediaWiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/wiki and start experimenting with things there. Does that sound like a worthwhile thing?

My current aim is to get the Genealogy extension to support Wikidata. It'd be good to have a place to demonstrate and figure out how this could work.

Thanks, Sam.
