-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Missing project ideas AND MENTORS for GSOC Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2013 14:27:43 -0700 From: Quim Gil <[email protected]> Organization: Wikimedia Foundation To: [email protected] Ok, let's move the discussion to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects because this final sprint requires (hopefully!) many posts from many people. Please go there if you want to help any of these candidates: * Gadgets: needs at least one project idea and one mentor. * Write useful Lua modules: needs at least one project idea and one mentor. * Phase out the Vector extension; merge the good parts into core: needs maintainers' buy-in, a defined project scope and at least one mentor. * Work on outstanding Parsoid bugs and/or add features: needs at least one project idea and one mentor. * Improve Extension:CSS: needs more feedback from security & MediaWiki developers. (discussion thread) * Add support for x3d 3D files to MediaWiki: needs more feedback from 3D savvy users and developers and at least one mentor. * Improve the mediawiki-bugzilla extension to a deployable level: needs Bug Squad buy-in and at least one mentor. * Work on RefToolbar: needs discussion (work on the extension or on a VisualEditor module?) and at least one mentor. * co-ment-like tool for inline comments: needs at least one mentor. * Build an interwiki notifications framework and implement it for InstantCommons: needs Commons feedback/buy-in and a second mentor. * Browser Test Automation: needs at least one project idea. * System documentation integrated in source code: needs more definition (a MediaWiki extension to integrate source code docs?), feedback / buy-in from MediaWiki developers and at least one mentor. * Extension pages management: needs reasonable project scope, mediawiki.org community buy-in and at least one mentor. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
