Hi,
It seems to me on the whole of mediawiki.org there is not a single piece of info about how you can donate to support the software development... true?
MediaWiki is pretty lucky to have the WMF to lean on for development funds, but IMO it could generate some donations on its own merits. So many corps using MW for intranets, surely they could be encouraged to give something back.
Hello,
It is not about luck! MediaWiki is a wiki software written for Wikipedia, it happens to work for other website too. The main "customer" is still Wikipedia.
Maybe we can add a page somewhere that points to the WMF donation page though.
And I guess there would also be interest in a jobs.mediawiki.org listing. (cf. Twiki's http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/ConsultantsForHire & http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/CodersForHire ) why let companies pay to list such jobs elswhere ( http://www.opensourcexperts.com/Jobs/index_html/MediaWiki/index.html ) when they could be listed right here...
I think we received "job offers" on the mediawiki-l list, some developers also received private offers to write extensions.
Is there any interest from company to have such a page ? Maybe mediawiki-l is enough.
cheers,
