well what about the user granting you the rights to the comments etc under certain conditions and they just use fb and pull that data in via the api. so you would have some pages that are autogenerated via fb, you might have Talk:page for normal users and FB:Page for fb users. mike On Tue, Oct

Theoretically I guess it's capable with the API and whatnot, but I don't think it's been attempted (or at least not to the extent you're implying). It'd be interesting. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com |

It's possible, but it would be a little ugly. You could write a web frontend to what would basically be a proxy handling the work on the backend over the api. However, there is no secure way for a user to login through something like that, so all of the edits would have to come from your app and

Yes, that's a good example of how to be closer to people. However I think that the MediaWiki social network client can be use in case of really big crowdsourcing projects where we want to grasp a large amount of people. Most of the Russian internet users sitting in vk.com social network all the
