Semantic MediaWiki
Hi Robin!

You inquired about Semantic MediaWiki. We (mainly PanSola) have conducted a "pilot" of sorts, but haven't yet concluded whether we want to integrate SMW functions with our wiki: some areas where we wanted to use it turned out to not work as well as we thought (i.e. our skills sections), and concerns about how SMW would affect accessibility of our content to modifications haven't been fully addressed yet. Another concern is that SMW makes it easy to add stuff that nobody really needs (I can't find the discussion right now, but could probably find it if I looked really hard).

I hope that's what you wanted to know. :) -- ◄mendel► 05:38, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
