It's been a few weeks now since I've been baking some extensions to make Mediawiki (Wikipedia's wiki engine) more "web2.0 compliant". These extensions are unofficial and, as far as I know, they were only implemented at my research group's wiki (http://www.mohid.com/wiki log:wikiguest pass:wikiguest). Since I know that these extensions might be useful for someone else, I blog them here hoping they get enough public exposure...

Here's the list of the extensions along with a live example. All examples require the same login and password given above:

CiteULike: guillaume's library

Quite amazing! CiteULike is the web-based citations manager I was looking for, for quite a long-time. It's exactly like del.icio.us, except it handles peer-reviewd papers instead of simple links. The difference? Basically it stores a link with added metadata fields proper of scientific research such as author, title, journal, issue, year, etc...

As del.icio.us, it allows collaborative tagging and links sharing.

In the beginning, there was html (and a search engine), then God came and said: "Let form from content split" and css+xml+xsl+xhtml were created and He saw that it was good. Then God said "Let people share and broacast images, music, video, text and ideas" and WikiPedia, Flickr, YouTube, Odeo, Blogs and del.icio.us were created along with rss feeds, and He saw that people were doing good things and He saw that this was good.
