| Question 1: Where did you first came in contact with SMW?
|
| MediaWiki.org
|
| Question 2: When you first came in contact with SMW where did you get your information from? (search engine, mediawiki.org, university etc.)
|
| MediaWiki.org
|
| Question 3: Considering your circumstances, what kind of problems you think SMW can solve?
|
| I am in the process of storing all my notes (college, finance, conlang, analysis) on a local MediaWiki installation. This is an unmanageable and disorganized mass of stuff. Semantic MediaWiki is a very good way to make it manageable and organized.
|
Part II
| Question 4: Why do you think SMW has the potential to solve those problems?
|
| I have only a very mild technical background. I was sold by the word semantic. The ability to tag articles and thus associate them is very valuable.
|
| Question 5: When you looked for some solutions to a problem where did you look (semantic-mediawiki.org etc.)?
|
| semantic-mediawiki.org, mediawiki.org
|
| Question 6: Does semantic-mediawiki.org provides a good enough introduction in how to start with SMW?
|
| The documentation is good. I read it without understanding it. Then I read it without knowing how to apply it. Eventually I come to a problem I don't know how to solve. After that I go back to the documentation and find something that applies to my problem.
|
Part III
| Question 7: Could you rate (likert scale) the perceived information density on semantic-mediawiki.org. (1 least satisfied with information provided (found less information than I hoped for); 5 generally satisfied with information provided (found most questions answered); 10 satisfied with information provided (found all information I was looking for) )
|
| 6
|
| Question 8: If semantic-mediawiki.org didn't provide a good enough introduction what would you see as a root cause for the problem (lack of structure, unclear entry points, to much information at the beginning, conceptional difficult to grasp at first etc.)?
|
| conceptual difficult to grasp at first.
|
| Question 9: From your perspective what kind of information is missing on semantic-mediawiki.org?
|
| I would like an inexperienced person of limited technical background to walk through some of the concepts with simple examples that I could cut, paste and modify in my own wiki. This would let me make mistakes because of what I don't know, but still move forward.
|
| Question 10: If you have to improve the documentation which areas are in need for amendments (max. 3)?
|
| subobjects please
|
Semantic MediaWiki is a great project. Thank you very much.
