Hello Everyone, Hope we all are doing great? I wish to announce the beta release of version 1.0 of the SendGrid MediaWiki extension[1] which enables MediaWiki to send emails using the SendGrid API. I have been working on this extension for some time now and finished up the first version last night :). It's very simple to use and all you need is a valid SendGrid API key (config in your LocalSettings.php file "wgSendGridAPIKey") and you are done. In addition, this can be used also by user doing development locally and wish to send emails from their local wiki. SendGrid offers 12,000 emails to its users for an unlimited time and this can come in handy when you are not in deployment / production environment. I wish members of the development community to try this extension out and see how it works and give in their feedback. A work board for this project / extension has been has been requested [2] and will be up soon, but the extension is okay for use :). Extensions that perform a similar role are; Mailgun[3] & SwiftMailer[4]. We need more of this mailer extensions to have various varieties. :) Thank you and hoping to get some feedback.

Hi all, This is brilliant Derick! While the current email feature only allows up to 10 emails to be sent on a wiki this option allows 12,000 emails and even allows you to messages on your local wiki. This is truly great and we have to celebrate your hard work. Folks there are more relevant stuff to be done in the community. Find your niche and hit it hard to make an impact.

Well I was just throwing light and giving reasons why the current email feature supports 10. Coming to think of it is anyone developing a community app or we should just move to telegram On Aug 24, 2017 1:23 PM, "Felix Nartey" <fnartey(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

Hello Perside R, Of course there is more work on the project. I have requested for a phab work board and when it's ready, I will publish tasks around the extension for us all to work on. This is the first MediaWiki extension from Africa :). Let's make good use of it as developers and if there is any question or bugs found, just create a ticket on phab and tag "Africa-Wikimedia-Developers". Thanks for reaching out and I expect more questions related to the extension and other tasks on the AWMD work board. We are curious to see the winners of this month :). Have a nice day *Kind regards* *Alangi Derick N* *[image: https://twitter.com/AlangiDerick] <https://twitter.com/AlangiDerick> <https://www.facebook.com/derick.alangi> * On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 2:51 PM, perside rosalie <persiderosalie(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Nice, but I believe the 10 emails feature we have now was made standard to reduce spamming especially with "yahoo boyz" sending plenty emails to catch "fish" On Aug 24, 2017 1:04 PM, "Felix Nartey" <flixtey(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > This is brilliant Derick!

That may be true @Gerald but have you ever tried mass messaging users when you don't have mass messaging rights? Its a nightmare, this is useful in various ways and could be used right and wrong no doubt. One of the highlights of this tool is its benefit to developers, the ability to send emails even from your local wiki is amazing!

Hi all, Finally Derick you did bring that extension to life. I will applaud your great work bro. Expect feedback from me as well. concerning Gerald's Idea, I think we have two options 1) We can start our own community application (which off course will help us acquire more skills and promote the work among us ) 2) We can create a telegram group. WRT these, I am in for both yet I strongly believe that we can grow our own community application without any doubts. On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 7:15 PM, Samuel Guebo <samuelguebo(a)gmail.com> wrote:
