[WikiWorks: MediaWiki consulting]

Welcome to WikiWorks, a consulting company dedicated exclusively to MediaWiki implementation.

About MediaWiki: MediaWiki is the open-source wiki application best known for powering Wikipedia. It is also the most popular wiki application in the world, in use on tens of thousands of sites in many different languages, on wikis for everyone from small groups to communities to government agencies and major corporations.

About Semantic MediaWiki: A major plugin to MediaWiki is Semantic MediaWiki (often abbreviated SMW), which allows a wiki to store data that can then be queried and displayed in many different ways. It instantly turns a wiki into a collaborative database, letting many people work on the same data set without fear of users ruining each others' data. We recommend incorporating it into wiki solutions whenever possible.

About WikiWorks: We are a consulting company, formed in 2009, that implements MediaWiki solutions for clients large and small. Our founder, Yaron Koren, is a veteran MediaWiki programmer who is among the top 10 most active contributors to the MediaWiki project. On our staff we also have other MediaWiki developers, and people with significant experience implementing MediaWiki solutions.

At WikiWorks, we can handle any and all aspects of creating a wiki, from installing MediaWiki and any necessary extensions, to creating a skin and logo, to designing the data structure, to doing custom development, to giving tips on how to increase usage and visibility of your wiki. If you hire us, one or more consultants will be assigned to your project, based on the nature of the work; our consultants generally work remotely.

Hosting: We run Referata, a MediaWiki- and Semantic-MediaWiki-based wiki farm. If you want hosting for your wiki, we can help you set up a wiki on Referata (it's free), or do custom hosting for you on an independent server, with whatever customizations and level of service you need.

Contact us. To talk with us, please write to us at info@wikiworks.com to let us know about your specific MediaWiki needs. Someone from WikiWorks will email you back to discuss the possibilities; the consultation is free.
