Network

This is for testing the idea of implementing a scientific network (see Nerdbook) directly on the wiki. This is very much in development. If you have ideas or can implement some things, go right ahead!

Implementation

 * A useful tool for implementing many features may be DynamicPageList. Check out the extensive manual.
 * Use semantic mediawiki tools for searching and tagging when possible
 * social networking is on this list: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki/Envisaged_applications
 * FOAF: http://ontoworld.org/wiki/FOAF
 * Connections are all described by wiki links.
 * User:Yourname/network is the special page that contains links to either other users or other pages (e.g. groups)

Features working

 * None yet.

Features desired

 * Sending messages to particular networks.
 * Easy to use interface (either Javascript or maybe form based)

Features that appear to be unimplementable on the wiki
