Virtual Machine for Semantic MediaWiki (hacker)

Go back to: General discussion

I just ran a search and could not find any images for a virtual machine that runs Semantic MediaWiki. I would think that most organizations would want to have internal wikis instead of external ones to protect their information. I wonder if developing a SM image for VirtualBox would be worth spending the time? Do you think anyone needs such an image?

There is one for SMW+ from Ontoprise, but it's focused on a commercial packaging of SMW.

Past that, a VM containing a complete SMW would be helpful, though I hope this would only be considered when it's absolutely required to keep data 'private,' a lot more effort and trouble seems to go into protecting information than is necessary when considering the advantages of an open model.
