Hi All-
I've been looking around for a solution to open up my database of books and
I think Semantic MediaWiki might do the trick. Can you tell me if I'm
correct?
My site is www.textbookrevolution.org. It's a list of links to free
textbooks that I've found online, with capsule reviews. It's set up in
Textpattern using a mySQL database. When I enter a book, I fill out a form
with blanks for author, title, tags, etc.
I want to open up the site so that anyone can post a new book or review a
book. It seems that a wiki is ideal for this, but I don't want to give up
the database structure. Can anyone here tell me if Semantic MediaWiki will
do the job? If so, there might be a contract job for someone who could set
it up on our servers and migrate the existing database in to Semantic MW.
On a related note, I may be getting RSS feeds of new free books as they're
released by a couple of different publishers. Is it possible to have these
feeds automatically integrated into MediaWiki so that I don't have to go
through and manually enter all the info?
Please CC me on any responses, as I'm not a subscriber to the mailing list
since I'm not a user yet.
Thanks-
Jason Turgeon
