Job Description
Wanted: an experienced programmer with a background in the MediaWiki code
base.
ManyOne Networks has been tasked by a client to build an encyclopedia in a
wiki format. The wiki platform we are using is MediaWiki, the same
underlying platform as Wikipedia. Our client is aiming, like Wikipedia, to
build a large body of freely available content developed in a massively
collaborative mode via a wiki. Unlike Wikipedia, this client is working in a
specific topic area and with a specific (though large) body of potential
contributors.
Because of these (and other) differences, we find ourselves in need of
someone who can work with us on making some changes or enhancements to the
underlying MediaWiki code. It is our intent, by the way, that changes made
be offered back as open source to the MediaWiki developers. Some of the
areas where we hope to get help include:
- Content replication across wiki namespaces;
- area of registration and authentication;
- role-based access control.
Interested applicants should contact Mike Matthews at ManyOne Networks with
resume and contact information.
Contract to hire possibilities.
