Hi,
I am writing to ask about promoting (and to promote) the 'MetaBase' project http://BioDatabase.Org - a MediaWiki run "database of biological databases". This is a 'non-foundation' project run under the 'BioWiki' collection of BioPedias - http://BiO.CC
I am not sure if this is the correct list to contact (and apologies if it isn't), but I am interested in information regarding the promotion of MediaWiki based projects. Like any user contributed resource, the site needs contributors to be worth anything. I would like to find out about where and how to try to attract users, and to ask members of this list if they are interested in looking at this project.
I will be promoting the project to biologists via the 'bioinformatics bulletin board' run at http://Bioinformatics.Org but the project really needs people who know MediaWiki inside out, have experience with working on large community projects, and who are willing to help out with this kind of work.
Any suggestions on how to better promote this project are very welcome!
Sincerely,
Dan Bolser.

Hi,
Did I pick the wrong list to post this request for help? I am sorry if this is 'just another spam' mail to the list, but it would be nice to know if and why this kind of post is not acceptable. Otherwise was nobody interested?
Thanks for any (meta) suggestions! I would love to know the correct place to send this kind of request.
Dan.

really needs people who know MediaWiki inside out, have experience with working on large community projects, and who are willing to help out with this kind of work.
Sounds like unpaid skilled labor to me.
What project doesn't dream of having that?
