[Mediawiki-l] [swikig] Small paying project: new semantic extension to MediaWiki

[Kelly Jones]

I've found someone on guru.com who says they will do this for US $600,
which exceeds my budget.

Anyone interested in contributing? I realize there are many
logistical/trust/etc issues here (especially if the guy can't
deliver), so just sending out a feeler for now.

new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile.
