Hello!
I am interested in the extensions you made to the software.
If I understood correctly, you changed the Math extension to add a new tag
that displays ecuations differently and the Collection extension to improve
the generation of printed materials. Could you elaborate more on that?
Maybe with a link to your side that demostrates the difference with the
standard MediaWiki installation used by Wikibooks or Wikiversity?
And what does the Docker extension do?
I have seen that a similar patch has been explicitly
rejected by the
Wikipedia community.
Can you point to the related wiki, email or phabricator item conversations?
Saludos,
Luis Sanabria

Your code modifications for

are interesting. I'm
pretty sure that KDE policies don't force you to fork MediaWiki extensions
locally, so your patches are definitely welcome upstream.
I'm not sure what you mean with your point about <dmath> being rejected by
the community; perhaps you refer to some performance decision made by WMF.
If your modifications to Math are incompatible with some decision of the
maintainers, you can ask a different repository on gerrit or another branch
on the same repository, so that non-WMF users can use your code.
As for your comments on chapters and drafts, I don't see anything
incompatible with how Wikibooks and Wikiversity work. If you have a
solution for what we call "book management" i.e.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T17071 (worked on by Raylton and others
with
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:GSoC_Mediawiki_Book_Experience
), that's especially interesting.
To reach the Wikibooks and Wikiversity community, the best way is to use a
medium that can involve their active editors, such as their mailing lists
(cc'ed here) or wikis.
