User:Tisane/If you build it, they will come

I am taking the "Field of Dreams" approach to software development. I tried to get people interested in my programming project, but they didn't seem to share my enthusiasm for what I wanted to accomplish. So, I decided the only solution is to show them the finished product, so that the implications of it will become evident to them. I am a beginning programmer, so version 1.0.0 of my extension will probably be ugly, hacky, and possibly expensive. But, if it works, that's all that matters, because once people see how important it is, they will get onboard and help with version 1.0.1. Or at least, that's the theory. If that doesn't work out, at least I'll have learned something about Mediawiki and PHP programming that will make the next project easier.
