No doubt there are a number of shortcomings in Cargo, in its current state, that make it unsuitable for WMF production.

But software evolves, and perhaps this experimental space can be an opportunity to evolve Cargo too, to become a better fit with the WMF ecosystem.

Or if it's not Cargo itself, perhaps the taxon that emerges out of it.

Thanks,

I know Wikispore is not big right now but (as a Cassandra) I highly recommand not using this extension. It's a security nightmare with lots and lots of scalability issues (I've seen second-handed). Worse than DPL and SMW. If Wikispore is planning to be in WMF production eventually, I highly doubt it would be able to get there with Cargo.

Sorry to be that annoying person :(

I've started a page describing Cargo functionality as it exists on Wikispore currently, and its future potential:

https://wikispore.wmflabs.org/wiki/Cargo

So far it is being used for STARDIT and Law Spore, and I hope we can find more applications.

Some obvious ones that come up are forms for oral citations, and for describing books and other media works.

Please expand this page!

Thanks,
