PHP Developer with experience of developing Mediawiki extensions

Hi there,

We have a wiki at http://www.wikivois.org/ running Mediawiki 1.17

It contains a database of "entries". These entries are around a methodology called SROI (Social Return on Investment). So for example we have a list of "Outcome" entries here:

http://www.wikivois.org/index.php?title=Category:Outcomes

Each "Outcome" entry is a page in the wiki and has connections to other types of entries - e.g. "Indicator" entries, "Valuation" entries (they are all listing in the nav on the left below "Browse Entries").

So each entry has a page and they have connections to other entries. So far this has all been handled using Mediawiki templates, and two extensions - Semantic Media Wiki and Semantic Forms (using SMW "Properties" to connect the entries).

But this approach is now beyond the changes my client requires, so I need some custom dev.

Initially I require this:

- an extension developing (using a Mediawiki hook I would imagine) which fires when entry pages are edited. This will perform a set of tasks (like edit the pages of related entries). I'll provide full details of what this set of tasks.


I imagine your main initial task will be to acquaint yourself with the current system - with how the page templates, Semantic Media Wiki and Semantic Forms works to create, connect and edit the entries.

I can point you at a dev server with a version of this to play with. Plus I have a subversion server you can checkout from and commit to.

Then hopefully you can create the extension for me...
