Hi Everyone,
Get ready, because it is time for *Wikimedia Tech Talks 2019* Episode 2!
This month's talk will take place *March 27, 2019 at 18:00 UTC. *
*Topic*
Ouch, I have an OOUI: Using OOUI without pain
*Speaker*
Moriel Schottlender
*Summary*
OOUI is the interface widget library we are using for UI in the Wikimedia
projects. The library is meant to allow implementers to create useful
interfaces that automatically answer internationalized needs that are
unique to the global nature of our projects. Right-to-left support,
supporting old browsers, accessibility, etc, are things that OOUI is doing
in the background for you.
This tech talk will present OOUI’s history, basic and advanced usage, and
demonstrate how to create great interfaces without (much) pain within our
wiki ecosystem.
