Citizendium calls for bids on an Mediawiki extension

All,

The Citizendium Foundation would like to call for bids from MediaWiki
programmers on this extension:

https://lists.purdue.edu/pipermail/citizendium-tools/2008-January/000239.htm
l

If you like the extension idea, make a proposal...you might end up getting
paid to do something you'd like to do anyway.  We can afford to pay for this
now, and we'll certainly pay something that's reasonable.  If you have any
questions about what we're asking, that might affect the bids, please let me
know and I'll post a clarification.

Let's say that the bids will close (if any reasonable bids are received) in
a week--July 9.

--Larry

Since MediaWiki is a Web application which does not provide a
background service I don't believe this can be implemented within the
MediaWiki itself. However, a background utility can be created to do
that. Can you indicate what your environment (OS, DB engine, etc.) is,
and I might be able to help you out with this one.

Boris.
