Hi everyone,
I have been talking to some third-party users trying to learn more about what they would like to see happening in MediaWiki in the near future. Here is a list of the things on the wish list, with the ones on top being more popular.
<snip>
- Easy way of gracefully retiring old tags (e.g. Google Maps extension is
no longer supported, replaced with Maps which has different tags)
Just to have it mentioned, the replace text extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Replace_Text ) makes it a sharm for admins to bunch-replace outdated tags with new ones. We had that problem once with one of the syntaxhighlighting extensions and a switch to the new one.
- Update to the documentation about creating a simple extension that is
XSS safe.
- Mobile version for website that turns with MediaWiki - this is in
progress http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_support_in_MediaWiki_core
- MediaWiki Core API.
"Not the HTTP-API but the set of PHP classes in the core that are less likely to change in the next version. Core developers to think about MediaWiki as framework with programming interfaces for extension developers. All the changes in those interfaces have to be calm, with slow deprecation. A role model for that is Python compiler."
Sorry for the long email and thank you if you made it here. The alternative was to send many emails and I thought that would be too spammy :) More to come soon !
