Subject: [Wikitech-l] English Wikipedia Homepage Framework
To: Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hello,
I just wanted to make everyone aware of a discussion going on at the English
Wikipedia. They are discussing changing the Main Page, not visibly, but
just
changing the page from a table based layout to one that is a little bit more
modern. The discussion can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#Proposal_to_implement_new_fram…
_for_main_page
One of the things that came up during the discussion was testing the
framework
with a wide variety of browsers. A lot of the opposition to it that I
could see
came from the lack of testing. I feel like I remember us discussing here
previously a framework for testing stuff across many browsers. If we have
something of the like here, I think that it could be well deployed to help
them
out. No reason for them to re-invent the wheel or do all of the testing
manually.
Thank you,
