As Robert pointed out, I'm obviously going to pay the going rate for an expert. Alas, I know the pain of having a full-time job. I have a programming background, but do to time constraints, would rather concentrate on the portion I know well (data-mining the web), and find someone for the mediawiki stuff. Should be a nice little project for the right person! On Wed, Jul 14, 2010 at 4:47 PM, David Gerard <dgerard(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Or a Linux desktop. http://fmwwrestling.us/WMFArmyNews2007.html Is MediaWiki appropiate for these uses? Sounds like something that ask for very structure organization, and easy to use interface. MediaWiki can be lots of things, but don't look like a XML Database. (The semantic web has been namedroped here. But, anyway...) You guys sould implemente sudo in MediaWiki, so the command "sudo make me a sandwitch" works with mediawiki :-) (I know mediawiki has not been designed for different level access users). Maybe Wikipedia sould use a different font for the text added on the last revision of a page, like... font-family: script. Obviusly, wikis are handwritting, not typewritting. Wikis are not books, are notes on a book. You *no* need a canvas renderer for mediawiki pages. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje.

If you're being a nuisance, you'll probably be told to shut up; if you haven't been, you probably aren't being a nuisance, so don't worry about it.

You participate seriously in the development community, and at least I appreciate that and thank you for it. Unfortunately, you're one of the only paid developers who does this, except some of the ones who were originally drawn from the development community.
