template for linking to GitWeb
by Amir E. Aharoni 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hallo, We have the interwiki prefixes '[[:svn:' and '[[:rev:', but last time i checked we don't have any easy way to link to GitWeb or Gerrit. Maybe it's possible to link to Gerrit using an interwiki prefix, but GitWeb would probably be too complicated and will require a template. (A "link" in the style of '[[File:' with a gazillion parameters is... suboptimal.) I started a template for doing this: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Template:Gitweb It's very naive and early, because i know very little about GitWeb, so feel free to play with it and make it more useful. Also, it's not used much now, so feel free even to break it :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Google Summer of Code - Integrate upload from Flickr & Taxobox (Ryan Kaldari)
by David Palacios 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi there, I'm Currently working on a major in Computer Science and Technology and I want to get involved in the open source community (I am a newbie). From the listed ideas, Integrate upload from Flickr and Taxobox caught my attention and I am working on a proposal, but I didn't want to wait more time to introduce myself to you and the community. I have experience in web development using javascript, jQuery, HTML5 and PHP, I also have used MySQL on school projects (I have more experience in SQL Server because an internship I did). The past 3 days I've been getting familiar with the resources available for developers (MediaWiki architecture, Manual:code and Coding conventions ). I am glad to say that I am familiar with most of the javascript and PHP coding conventions. I'll let you know when I post it on my userpage, hoping I can receive some feedback. Regards, -- David Palacios

Re: [Wikitech-l] GSOC-2012 proposal(Convention Extension)
by akshay chugh 04 Apr '12

Hi varnent, Before setting up this proposal , I have had some discussions with (^demon and saper) about the scope and need for such an extension. Not only they suggested me some features that they would want to see as part of this extension but they pointed out some issues as well that I would face while developing this extension . And seeing the links they provided for further clarity , I narrowed down the scope of this project keeping in mind the most important deliverables that need to be met. Well i didnt get any chance to talk to other wikimania folks about the web forms as such but they sure provided me some links showing the implementation of such features in wikimania . These are the implementation links :- - scholarship template(wikimania 2006) - http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships/Application - scholarships code used for wikimania- https://github.com/saper/Scholarship<https://github.com/saper/Scholarships> Discussion with saper - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Chughakshay16/ConventionExtension

GSOC 2012 proposal - Ajax functions for editing, blocking, deleting and checking recent changes
by Marco 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Following my proposal at http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/marco_in… I created a test wiki http://wikitest.freehosting.com/ <http://wikitest.freehosting.com/index.php?title=Main_Page> for you to take a look at the functionalities of the script I pretend to adapt, internationalize and use as base for my gsoc project (details at the proposal). It was a quick translation and much of it is still in Portuguese, but I think it's ok for a preview. Any considerations would be appreciated.

GSOC 2012 - Automatic Taxobox Usability and Feature Enhancements
by Bacon Prime 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi, I'm writing a proposal to improve the usability of the automatic taxobox on Wikipedia; specifically, to create a GUI such that all future taxoboxes could be created with it, and most current taxoboxes could be edited without ever touching the templating syntax. In the optimal case, this would obviate the need for the extensive support needed (~10 archived talk pages over two years!) and might spark a conversion from the manual taxobox to the automatic (which is desirable to the micro-optimizing programmer in me) -- in the suboptimal case, such an improvement would still save many people many hours of work and even out the learning curve. As an ancillary benefit, the wizard-like processes described in the help pages could be easily converted into actual wizards, which would also cut down on errors (i.e. when steps are applied incorrectly, out of order or inappropriately). A quick blurb about myself: I'm 19, nearly into my third year of university and majoring in Computational Linguistics at Simon Fraser University. Also, I'd really, really like to be given the chance to contribute something positive to Wikipedia's community! Proposal Page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Baconprime/GSoC2012>

GSoC: Improving the interplay between Spark and SMW and the second one is Semantic Forms Rule
by riadh chtara 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hello! My name is Riadh Chtara.I'm Tunisian student.Two years ago I got an excellence scholarship from Tunisian Government to study Engineering In France. And today, I study in Ecole Centrale de Lyon which is one prestigious engineering school in France. I love web development . I know many programming language but one my favorite are JavaScript(with jQuery) and php. Last year, I made for example a web application called Grimdi Animator< http://www.grimdi.com/animator/> (which is a powerful and amazing tool that allows you to create cool javascript animation for you website without any required programming knowledge. It is very easy and fast. With Grimdi Animator you can also dynamically import data and manipulate XML. You can use Grimdi Animator to make animations,menus, galleries...) This application has today more than 8000 users in Chrome WebStore.Here is an example of what you could do with it .<http://www.grimdi.com/animator/example.html> It is a photo gallery loaded from this XML file <http://www.grimdi.com/animator/gallery.xml> I'm interested in two idea.The first one is Improving the interplay between Spark and SMW and the second one is Semantic Forms Rules. I discussed the first idea with Mr Jeroen De Dauw and Mr Denny Vrandecic, unfortunately none of them of them could be a full mentor( Mr Denny Vrandecic said he could be a co-mentor).So I am looking for a mentor for this idea.If any one want to volunteer please tell me. I'm also interested in Semantic Forms Rules.Like I said, I know JavaScript and jquery very well, the web application I made use basically javascript and jquery.I hve a few question to the mentor jquery (Mr Stephan Gambke) and I would like to ask him some questions. Yours sincerely Riadh
