I would say "gadgets and userscripts" not just gadgets. A user script on a local project is probably the lowest barrier to entry new project possible.

I finally started working on my FOSDEM presentation for this Sunday:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:How_to_hack_on_Wikipedia.pdf


(updated on a daily basis this week)

Regardless of the title (catchy for the call for papers and the
conference schedule) it is an intro to How to contribute to MediaWiki
and Wikip/media tech tasks.

It's not even an alpha, but in terms of design you can see there where
I'm going. Feedback welcome.

In terms of general design, I'm taking as reference
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design and subpages.

Then I'm trying to recycle the consistency the presentation requires and
use for the consistency we lack and we need at

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute

and related pages.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Design/Agora_Icon_Set is
all about black icons so I have been fishing at http://thenounproject.com/

Those icons will start identifying activities at mediawiki.org e.g.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Weekly_goals

Again, your opinion (and better alternatives) are welcome.


PS: looking for an icon for the Mobile slide I came across
http://thenounproject.com/noun/flying-saucer/#icon-No9877 by our beloved
Heather. Hello there!  :)

PS2: but I was looking for something lighter so I ended up with
http://thenounproject.com/noun/paper-plane/#icon-No3756 . In fact the
icon for "Mobile" was the one that took me more time to find, by large.
So many stereotypes but so limiting and deprecated by reality so fast.
