Space Data Wiki Begins Coding For MediaWiki Extensions

After much thought and some consultation, I have decided to begin coding for MediaWiki extensions.

The exact design direction of this project remains unclear. Will it be an entire system coded from scratch that would compete with MediaWiki ? Or, as I have decided, and is probably more likely, will the focus be on extensions for MediaWiki...an already proven and tested wiki system ?

If the focus is on MediaWiki, then Space Data Wiki coould concentrate on a common framework for space related extensions for MediaWiki (maybe some of the extensions will need to "talk" to one another?).

On another front, the project now has it's own Wiki, which is in it's early stages... http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Space_Data_Wiki
