Hi folks,
Brandon and I agreed that it would make sense to have a labs wiki that we can use to spin up experimental code changes. There's a lot of stuff that goes into MediaWiki core that requires UX/design review, and of course there are more complex extension changes as well.
Andrew and I put some finishing touches on the wiki today; right now Brandon and I have root on it, but I'm happy to expand that group to anyone in the design cabal with Linux sysadmin experience. The instance currently lives here:
I put together a simple derivative logo of the Labs logo, but feel free to replace it with something nicer. :-)
Also, you'll find that Upload Wizard is installed here, and you can test the new drag & drop feature that's currently in development. You'll have to make an account and then visit
http://mwreview.wmflabs.org/wiki/index.php/Special:UploadWizard
to see it. This would be a good first test case for systematic UX feedback against a feature in active development. :-)
Cheers, Erik
I've also created a review queue here that we can use for managing stuff in need of review / feedback:
