Network

This is for testing the idea of implementing a scientific network (see Nerdbook) directly on the wiki. This is very much in development. If you have ideas or can implement some things, go right ahead!

Implementation

• A useful tool for implementing many features may be DynamicPageList. Check out the extensive manual.
• Use semantic mediawiki tools for searching and tagging when possible
  • social networking is on this list: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki/Envisaged_applications
• FOAF: http://ontoworld.org/wiki/FOAF
• Connections are all described by wiki links.
• User:Yourname/network is the special page that contains links to either other users or other pages (e.g. groups)

Features working

• None yet.

Features desired

• Sending messages to particular networks.
• Easy to use interface (either Javascript or maybe form based)

Features that appear to be unimplementable on the wiki

If any extensions would be helpful, list them here.
