Srikanth,

I came across Elgg [1] An open source social networking engine. I have tried it out sometime back and found it interesting. Recently I noticed it has a Mediawiki plugin [2] [3].

It might be worthwhile to test it out with a mediawiki installation. If it is useful, we could explore further.. wikimedia.in? Just thinking aloud.

Heya again.

I thought of this idea today. I figured it might help.

How about we [on a regular basis], list out our major contributions on various Wikimedia projects on a periodic basis?

The advantages of this stupidity are:
* Editors might find someone else who edits articles of similar nature and this will lead to more collaboration and team work.
* People can get feedback on their edits and can help other users improve OR improve themselves.
* This results in cross-editing, the overall quality of articles will go up.

Examples are:
* I edit something related to a certain National Highway. Users like Naveenpf or SBC-YPR might have some photographs or references, and might add it.
* I create an article in Hindi, somebody sees it and translates it to Tamil.

Advantages are aplenty, do let me know what you think of this.
