That is great. We would love to have more people involved.
I've been hanging out in the IRC channel on
freenode but there's
usually just a dozen lurkers and no action.
We are all around on #mediawiki-parsoid (subbu -- me, gwicke -- Gabriel
Wicke, marktraceur -- Mark Holmquist). Over the last couple weeks,
we've got another active contributor cscott (C.Scott Ananian). There
are visualeditor folks also hanging around who participate in
discussions once in a while. On most weekdays, there is a fair bit of
activity, except for occasional periods of lull. I assume you probably
caught a period of lull.
So, come around and say hi.
In the mailing lists parsoid seems to be mentioned
about as often in
wikitext-l and wikitech-l - which one is best to ask questions of this
nature?
I'd like to scratch my own itch rather than necessarily go after
things on the todo list and roadmap.
Basically I'm interested in what parsoid can do for parsing wikitext
markup into HTML (or other formats).
I want to use it without a mediawiki install and without an internet
connection. I see there is already some kind of support for reading in
articles from compressed dump files.
You and Scott have similar goals then since he is interested in using
Parsoid in situations without internet or spotty internet as well, if I
understand it correctly. In this context, he has been doing some code
cleanup, handling some edge cases, and contributing patches.
Any suggestions where I should start or where I can
hang out to chat
live with people who could help getting me involved?
It is defintely faster on IRC, but wikitext-l is good for
Parsoid-specific technical questions.
Subbu.
