Up until July 2008, the paid technology team of the Wikimedia Foundation consisted of four people who were responsible for software development, operations management, and office IT support. So, the "powers that be" have been pretty busy. :-) I agree these extensions are very powerful; it's wonderful that they were developed independently, and there are quite a few successful use cases out there already to learn from. We'll have to figure out what their role can be within a specific restricted grant to help first-time authors. If we can't make significant progress on assessing the more advanced features offered by SMW/SMF, we'll certainly target that as a future goal. -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
