This page and its subpages capture discussions among users of the orphaned extensions known collectively as "SMW+". Please use subpages for individual sub-projects and use talk pages for commentary. Thanks!


SMW+ is a group of SMW-based extensions to MW 1.16.x which have been installed on many wikis, notably including NYC Facets, winner of the NYC Big Data Award. Ontoprise, the company that created this useful set of extensions, is now defunct. (Beyond this group,) there is no maintenance plan to upgrade the extensions beyond MW 1.16; consequently the SMW+ user base is trapped at MW 1.16 version unable to migrate to MW 1.17+ to SMW 1.7+, or SF 2.5+.

Objectives[edit]

Instructions: add/edit as you see fit

  • Enable SMW+ extensions to operate on MW 1.19 LTS, SMW (1.6 through current) and SF 2.5.x
  • Integrate with the SMW community's documentation, tools, listserv & chatroom
  • Establish public Wiki Administration Tool repositories as necessary
  • Develop & deploy additional extensions for the SMW+ set
  • Create additional skin options for SMW+ wikis

Sub-projects[edit]

Instructions: Add/correct subprojects as appropriate. Add your vote for each sub-project you want to see completed (e.g., change +1 to +2, for your vote); record only positive votes. Add your name to a team only when you have time to participate on that team. Change the date column whenever its technical status changes.
