Re: [Wikitext-l] Collaborative Real-time Editing in VisualEditor

Hi! I am Abhishek Das, a student developer from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. I have been understanding MediaWiki's code and have started contributing by solving a few bugs marked easy. Here is my user page: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Abhshkdz I have wide experience in building applications in PHP, MySQL & JavaScript (both client-side & server-side: Node.js). You can see my Github profile here: https://github.com/abhshkdz. Recently, I have been working on a lot of real-time web applications using server set events, websockets as well as Socket.IO. I have experience in building collaborative document editors. This is a video conferencing with collaborative document editing application that I built during a 24-hour hackathon and won it: https://github.com/abhshkdz/hackview. It uses webRTC for Peer-to-peer video conferencing, and collaborative doc editing over shareJS. Few days back, I built an open-source version of WorkFlowy ( http://workflowy.com) using Backbone.js and Socket.IO: https://github.com/abhshkdz/HackFlowy. It has been gaining a lot of traction on Github with lots of stars and forks. I'm really excited about this one :D. The tasks get synced real-time using socket.io and mysql is used as the database. I wanted to implement a real-time collaborative editor in Wikimedia's VisualEditor as well. As pointed out by Sumana Harihareswara some work has already been done on this. I wanted to know what all is under development at the moment and how I can contribute in making it perfect. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks Abhishek Das Abhishek Das B. Tech.
