Thread:Project:Support desk/Class paper

I'm hoping to be able to write a class paper about MediaWiki as an information system. To do this I would need to "conduct an interview" on some aspect of the software or hardware (assuming that some hardware must exist somewhere). I have installed, modified (written PHP) and run MediaWiki on my linux system, so I do have some first hand experience with the software.

Is this an impossible dream, or would my questions have some chance of getting answers? I would attempt to ask the absolute minimum number of questions.

Thanks, Ralph L. DeCarli
