Hi Guy Ravine,
May I know how this is possible!! 'The Wikimedia Paid Developers' are
not ready to take wikimedia community members in confidence. They just
force VE and ULS on us, and they misused their access to servers just
for "effing" community. Could you clarify!?!

Hi Alvaro,
This could be of use to us but it's currently very far from a priority. Given
that we have limited resources and more pressing priorities it would not be
something we could help with. If you'd be interested in joining our development
on the other hand to develop Wikineering we'd be happy to welcome you on board.

Hey Everyone!
We're launching a new collaboration called Wikineering, wiki engineering, and
need your help.
While so far, the wiki has been used to collectively organize knowledge
repositories, Wikineering will put MediaWiki to use as a tool that allows the
world to collaboratively create and improve specifications for new products and
services. If the world could come together to wikineer meaningful new products
and services that do not exist, it would change itself for the better. The
vision is simple: Engineering built the 20th Century. Wikineering will build
the 21st Century.
We are looking to launch Wikineering in the coming days based on MediaWiki and
need your help. If you're good at MediaWiki development or customization, or at
editing entries as a Wikipedian, please join us. There is a short term and long
term roadmap to make this a reality and we could use your help.
The first project that will be collaboratively wikineered is the supersonic
Hyperloop transportation system that was proposed yesterday by Tesla founder
Elon Musk. The Hyperloop received exposure to millions of people yesterday and
Musk invited everyone to contribute to the Hyperloop design. However, only
thing that is missing to enable everyone to contribute to the design is a
platform for collective engineering like Wikineering. So -- join us and we will
build it!
To make wiki engineering practical requires new extensions and customization of
MediaWiki. If you join us to contribute to the development of Wikineering we
can together make it a reality and we will kick start a new movement that could
literally change the world by allowing it to change itself. Wikineering is not
a fly by night idea. A number of us -- inventors, engineers and academics at
MIT -- have been thinking about the principles for successful collective
engineering for a few years now. We now believe we know what it takes to make
wiki practical for the collective engineering process and need your help to
make it a reality!
Everyone are welcome to contribute. Contact me at guy _att_ wikineering _dot_
org to help.
In the Wikimedia Community Metrics dashboard one of the goals is to add
to Mediawiki the ability to build Metrics dashboards easily with it.
We are proposing an IEG:

Do you find these efforts aligned with Wikineering? Maybe we can try to
join forces?
Cheers
