cross-posting from wikitech-l ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patrick Reilly &lt;preilly(a)wikimedia.orgDate: Sun, Feb 12, 2012 at 1:28 PM Subject: [Wikitech-l] RFC Complete Rewrite of Mobile Frontend & Rename MobileFrontend2 To: Wikimedia developers &lt;wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org John DuHart has embarked on a complete rewrite of the current Mobile Frontend extension, and has decided to name it 'MobileFrontend2'. While we would prefer it if we could work cooperatively to resolve the existing open issues in the current MobileFrontend extension and maintain continuity. It's understandable why John would prefer to undertake his complete rewrite. (See Extension_talk:MobileFrontend#Issues_with_MobileFrontend_and_possible_rewrite_11940< https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:MobileFrontend#Issues_with_Mo… ) However, we feel that naming the rewrite 'MobileFrontend2' is problematic as users have already started to confuse it with the current extension. One thought was to name it to MobileSkin, but it appears that this extension already exists and we quickly reverted that rename attempt. We're curious to hear the rest of the engineering community's perspective and try to gain some consensus as to how best to proceed. — The Mobile Team _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l -- Arthur Richards Software Engineer, Mobile [[User:Awjrichards]] IRC: awjr +1-415-839-6885 x6687
