Contest script which John may want me to replicate (quoted "very rough ballpark estimate" of 10 hours, subject to revision when I have broken it down; he said "so 20 hours is probably a high figure?", to which I agreed):

  • Design Contests
    • use MediaWiki's user system for both contestants and offerer
    • contestants' proposals are visible to all, unlike Guru.com
    • proposals will generally be text explaining their qualifications, will sometimes have a different dollar figure
    • offerer chooses winning contestant, pays them outside the system (check on this)

Notes

  • new Main Page - to replace current page only after all the new topics have been populated with articles & ResearchBuy gives the go-ahead
  • The extension I've used for images with external links is actually a modified version of the StringFunctions extension; will document this off-the-clock when the time comes.
