Any ideas where to publish the English version? I
was quite surprised
when
I found out that there is no collective blog in
english internet as our
Habrahabr.
I was thinking about IBM Developerworks but maybe they need something
closer to the programming. Can I try to propose the article to
http://blog.wikimedia.org/c/technology/ ?
Would the meta wiki be innapropriate?
Too small audience. The amount of questions to which SMW is the answer and
the
amount holy wars in mailing lists about installing Semantic MediaWiki
on Wikimedia websites is growing and ensures that everyone in MW worlds
will sooner or later discover this extension for himself. My aim is to
attract the attention to SMW from outside and show that with SMW MediaWiki
can be much more than just wiki engine with ugly syntax that is used in
Wikipedia, but a framework for interesting collaborative systems with
consistent and dynamic content.
WikiData will also get queries sooner or later, so it seems unlikely
that SMW will be widely deployed at most important Wikimedia sites.
I remember that some time ago they said that SMW code is too large to
review. Thus there was project to make SMW Light, I am unsure it was
ever compete.
Do not forget they run very high load sites like wpen or wpde, which
probably have more traffic than Russian top sites like mail.ru or
yandex.ru. Thus they want highly scalable extensions.
It's interesting whether they will use external triplestore backend for
WikiData.
