Thank you for the lead. Will have a look. I suggest others do to.
P.S: The second link is called ComputerMacGyver, after MacGyver, my
favourite TV show : P

Srikanth,
I came across Elgg [1] An open source social networking engine. I have
tried it out sometime back and found it interesting. Recently I noticed it
has a Mediawiki plugin [2] [3].
It might be worthwhile to test it out with a mediawiki installation. If it
is useful, we could explore further.. wikimedia.in? Just thinking aloud.

Heya again.
I thought of this idea today. I figured it might help.
How about we [on a regular basis], list out our major contributions on
various Wikimedia projects on a periodic basis?
The advantages of this stupidity are:
* Editors might find someone else who edits articles of similar nature and
this will lead to more collaboration and team work.
* People can get feedback on their edits and can help other users improve
OR improve themselves.
* This results in cross-editing, the overall quality of articles will go
up.
Examples are:
* I edit something related to a certain National Highway. Users like
Naveenpf or SBC-YPR might have some photographs or references, and might add
it.
* I create an article in Hindi, somebody sees it and translates it to
Tamil.
Advantages are aplenty, do let me know what you think of this.
