Hi all, I have been thinking that the stories we are sharing here( and hopefully more to come) should go to update the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_testimonials, so I will probably work on that soon. Is that OK with people who shared ?
Also, recent discussions on mediawiki-l have made me optimistic to split the list into separate pages listing wiki farsm, hosting companies, developers, solutions, etc. and linking to those pages from the relevant mw.org pages. I will do some breakdown based on my own judgement, which will probably not be perfect, but you can all correct me afterwards.
