Why?
Personally I think it's okay to use javascript for editing interfaces.
Visual Editor already does this as does the default mobile editing experience.
As long as the page is readable with javascript disabled I think this
is more than acceptable (although others may disagree).

Thought the Design list might want to look at these mockups.

Hello,
I've been working on UI Mockups for Wikidata Mobile as a part of my GSoC
Project, Mobilize Wikidata. I have 2 mockups uploaded so far and I would
appreciate some feedback!

Hi Oliver,
So glad you like the new Thanks icon!
We're all very grateful to Mun May Tee-Galloway for her lovely new design : )
A screenshot is attached, and you can see it in action on MediaWiki.org. Should be deployed to enwiki shortly.
I will post about it on next Thursday, after our next Echo auto-deployment.
Thank you, May!

This is beautiful.
http://famo.us/
(seems to work best on mobile chrome or desktop chrome)
Could see some interesting wikipedia interfaces being built on this...
I agree this would be a very useful feature, and is critical for
retaining many of the short-attention-span or multi-tasking viewers.
Particularly when a video is low-res or in small-dimensions by default,
or when it's embedded in a long page of other distracting/tantalizing
information.
I regularly watch youtube videos in a Pop-up window. Youtube itself has
occasionally offered a right-click "pop-out into a new window" option as
part of the default options (not currently? it seems to appear and
disappear over the years). Otherwise, I right-click the tab and "move to
new window", and then I minimize the window size, and drag the window
into the bottom right of my screen. Finally, I set the window to "Always
on top". That way I can watch long documentaries/interviews whilst I
work on other tasks.

I think you mean, how would they access the information page, and
licensing info, if clicking the media itself made it bigger or pop-out?
From the article: they could still click the thumbnail icon (to the
right of any caption)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Magnify-clip1.png
From the video itself: Check the bottom-right of one of the videos, when
it's playing. Click the "menu" button, to get a link to commons:

The book management extension would "help wikis (WMF-hosted and
otherwise) that host book content, such as Wikisource or Wikibooks."
Check out the mockups and demos.

Hello,
This morning I was documenting on wikimedia API, and consulting [1] I
wanted to continue to read while playing the video. So what I wanted to
do was "pop up" the video out of the page, so I could scroll and read on
the left part of my screen, while watching the video at the right of my
screen.
But as far as I can say, there's no "pop up" function. Of course I can
open the video in a new window, etc, this is not a blocking bug.
What do you think?
Hi all,
In a recent meeting, a bunch of us discussed the various design styles
specified in skins, jQuery.ui, the newer mediawiki.ui library, and in other
places. There was general agreement that we're shooting for consistency as
the ideal, but that we've got a lot of work ahead to standardize on any one
look and feel, even just for Vector users.
One step agreed on was doing an audit of all the places and ways Vector,
jQuery.ui, or mediawiki.ui are applied today. To that end, S Page started
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design_audit and an associated category
today.
Normally I try to upload screenshots to Commons, but it's kind of a pain in
the butt to upload MediaWiki screenshots there because you have use custom
licensing templates every time. So if you just want to upload locally to
MediaWiki.org like S was doing I think that works. We also considered just
opening a Dropbox folder, since this stuff doesn't necessarily need to be
permanent.
Anyway, this is a good place to start. Thanks to S for kicking it off.
