Hi,
In future, we will switch to completely new system of on-wiki
configuration. This will be a major change from dev point of view as
we are going to use standardised YAML format for on-wiki
configuration.
I already started drafting new config, you can see
https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle/Config.yaml for
already working version of new config.
This new format will allow for great many new features, most notable
we will finally have ability to properly escape any string, which
wasn't possible as of now. This format has strict parser which will
throw errors in case there are syntax errors and thus making syntax
mistake will no longer be easily unnoticed.
It is also properly supported by syntax highlighter so the config
pages will be easier to read.
Old format will be deprecated, but still supported for some time.
This means, we have a chance to rework completely whole project
configuration page, which is kinda messy right now, and do it right.
Final format and structure is not yet decided, so NOW it is time to
suggest changes and improvements. If you have idea about anything or
don't like how something work with current Huggle project
configuration, now it's time to fix it!
