Description : mediawiki extension for silva
What is silva ?
Read a skill list from a CSV file and draw
a 2D tree from it. Each skill is represented exactly
once. The order of skills is preserved, from the trunk up.
The color of each tree section goes from green to red depending
on the frequency of the skill.
A preliminary version of the mediawiki extension can be experimented
at:

The easiest way for people to experiment with a visualisation software
is thru a wiki. And mediawiki is universaly accepted. Therefore it
makes sense to create a mediawiki extension as the first silva based
application.
The packaging of the mediawiki extension and the tests were surprisingly
tricky to get right. Because there is no mediawiki extension debian
package so far. And because there is very little testing for extensions.
Thanks to the help of people at irc.freenode.net#mediawiki, I was able
to find my way and discover parserTests and installExtensions, both
fairly new to most mediawiki developers.
