This Wednesday, I'll be conducting a bug
triage of bugs related to
mobile devices and the new MobileFrontend Extension. In order to get as
much non-WMF interest as possible, I'm announcing the triage two days
early.
If you have a wiki that you would like to add mobile support to, then
this is the triage for you! You'll have a chance to talk to developers
about the issues and, if you can help with PHP development, you'll be
able to see which bugs are most important to you to be fixed and even
get some hints to begin diving into the code yourself.
The MobileFrontend extension
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend) is about to go
into a test deployment on Wikipedia, so this is the perfect time to get
involved!
Here is are the bugs that I'm going to be choosing from for this
triage. If you want to make sure a particular mobile-related bug is
addressed in this Triage, email me the bug # and then join us on
Wednesday. If you see something here that you'd like to try to fix,
even better!
Is the MobileFrontend extension development being monitored or reviewed by
any senior developers?
Yes, it has been reviewed.
I took a look at the code today and it seemed
incredibly strange.
Could you send along some examples please.
Some of its layout and architecture doesn't seem
to be
consistent with MediaWiki conventions/style and a lot of code (particularly
variable assignments) looked duplicative.
Can you please provide an example.
Some revisions are also apparently being pushed live without any outside
review.
Yes, this is known. Every effort has been made to get eyes on every change, but some
things have been pushed quickly for testing and to meet our schedule for the opt-in
launch.
This isn't particularly related to the bug triage, per se, I realize.
Thanks, for your feedback.
