Hey Everyone!
We're launching a new collaboration called Wikineering, wiki engineering, and need your help.
While so far, the wiki has been used to collectively organize knowledge repositories, Wikineering will put MediaWiki to use as a tool that allows the world to collaboratively create and improve specifications for new products and services. If the world could come together to wikineer meaningful new products and services that do not exist, it would change itself for the better. The vision is simple: Engineering built the 20th Century. Wikineering will build the 21st Century.
We are looking to launch Wikineering in the coming days based on MediaWiki and need your help. If you're good at MediaWiki development or customization, or at editing entries as a Wikipedian, please join us. There is a short term and long term roadmap to make this a reality and we could use your help.
The first project that will be collaboratively wikineered is the supersonic Hyperloop transportation system that was proposed yesterday by Tesla founder Elon Musk. The Hyperloop received exposure to millions of people yesterday and Musk invited everyone to contribute to the Hyperloop design. However, only thing that is missing to enable everyone to contribute to the design is a platform for collective engineering like Wikineering. So -- join us and we will build it!
To make wiki engineering practical requires new extensions and customization of MediaWiki. If you join us to contribute to the development of Wikineering we can together make it a reality and we will kick start a new movement that could literally change the world by allowing it to change itself. Wikineering is not a fly by night idea. A number of us -- inventors, engineers and academics at MIT -- have been thinking about the principles for successful collective engineering for a few years now. We now believe we know what it takes to make wiki practical for the collective engineering process and need your help to make it a reality!
Everyone are welcome to contribute. Contact me at guy _att_ wikineering _dot_ org to help.

In the Wikimedia Community Metrics dashboard one of the goals is to add to Mediawiki the ability to build Metrics dashboards easily with it.
We are proposing an IEG:

Do you find these efforts aligned with Wikineering? Maybe we can try to join forces?
Cheers

Hi Alvaro,
This could be of use to us but it's currently very far from a priority. Given that we have limited resources and more pressing priorities it would not be something we could help with. If you'd be interested in joining our development on the other hand to develop Wikineering we'd be happy to welcome you on board.

Hi Guy Ravine,
May I know how this is possible!! 'The Wikimedia Paid Developers' are not ready to take wikimedia community members in confidence. They just force VE and ULS on us, and they misused their access to servers just for "effing" community. Could you clarify!?!

I think you are misinterpreting Guy Ravine's Wikineering effort. I know I did when I first saw the message.
Wikineering isn't about Wikipedia or any of the Wikimedia projects as far as I can tell. The key bit seems to be this:
The first project that will be collaboratively wikineered is the supersonic Hyperloop transportation system that was proposed yesterday by Tesla founder Elon Musk.
So, I'm happy they've decided to use MediaWiki for this, but I think it caused a lot of us to get confused.
