Socializing is a way of sharing goals and enthusiasm, collaborating, &c.
Except they don't do that. Socializing first and foremost produces socially
active
people. While I am sure there could be some benefits, I fail to see how
adding
social-networking features into Mediawiki could possibly make it more
productive.
Out of the box, it's a damn productive package, it just tends to not seem
that way
when people want to make it something it's not (hint: it's a wiki).
