Hello David, You can come to #mediawiki at freenode to talk with us. Download mediawiki and take a look at it (the svn version, the last release is is old by this time http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN) If you see something that from your Wikiversity experience should be fixed in the software, I'd recommend you to go for it and submit a patch in our bugzilla <https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/>. You could also try to implement something easy from there but a) You're probably not so motivated. b) The easy ones are likely picked and solved. The hard ones are those who last. And if you have any doubt, just ask. "Is this reasonable?" "Will a database explode if I perform whis query which joins eight tables and uses no index?" :) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
