Hello all, a while ago I asked the folks from the Semantic MediaWiki project to look into how they feel the SMW extension could be put to use on Wikinews. This could be part of a larger strategy to examine whether SMW could/should be deployed within the Wikimedia project family. Please see: http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Wikinews for their report. If you are unfamiliar with Semantic MediaWiki, please see http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki for a description of the software. Your comments about this idea would be welcome; questions about the software are probably best left on the talk page of the Wikinews page above, or sent directly to the developers. -- Peace & Love, Erik Member, Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees DISCLAIMER: Unless otherwise stated, all views or opinions expressed in this message are solely my own and do not represent an official position of the Wikimedia Foundation or its Board of Trustees. _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list Wikinews-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l

Considering that Semantic MediaWiki is basically what DynamicPageList should have become over time, I think it's totally something that Wikinews could use. If the extension is functional, perhaps the best thing to do would be to deploy it on something like en.wikinews and see if users like it. -ilya On 9/28/06, bawolff <bawolff+wn(a)gmail.com> wrote: see _______________________________________________ Wikinews-l mailing list Wikinews-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikinews-l
