Hi MetaVidWiki-ers (and wikivideo enthusiasts),
I'd like to call your attention to the new MetaVidWiki project hosted on
Wikimedia Labs:
https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Metavidwiki
Labs is "an environment where users can create and manage entire computing
and networking infrastructures" for technical development work related to
Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects. Software that builds and runs well
in Labs can be transferred into WMF's production environment without much
fuss; additionally, new code can be merged upstream via a web-based code
review system (Gerrit). More information:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/04/16/introduction-to-wikimedia-labs/
So here's where you come in: in the context of
OpenMeetings.org being
proposed as a new WMF sister project, now might be a good time to start
gathering and documenting ideas for new MetaVidWiki features (or
identifying problem areas) to serve as a technical development roadmap.
The relevant section of the sister project proposal:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OpenMeetings.org#Features
I'm happy to grant developer access to the Labs project to anyone upon
request. It's really neat. Comments or edits to the sister project
proposal are also most welcome. Join!
Sincerely,
George / User:GChriss
p.s. -- Happy Wikimania to anyone in DC!
