Sharing mathematical and music notations across wikis
by Eugene Zelenko 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hi! I think will be good idea to introduce support for files in TeX and ABC/Lilypond (Score extension) formats, so such files could be hosted on Commons. This will simplify maintenance of formulas and music across projects as well as allow to refer to mathematical and music notations from Wikidata. Eugene.

GSOC 2014 proposal - Wikimedia Identities Editor
by Vinay Raghavan 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

Hi, I'm interested in working on the 'WikiMedia Identities Editor' project for Google Summer of Code 2014. The basic idea of the project is to have a platform where the contributors of MediaWiki can maintain an online identity. The current procedures are not so easy to follow and also not very systematic. We need a good web-application that allows community members to create and maintain their online identities. Furthermore, a search feature, to find community members and their contributions(optional), would be useful. Here is my full proposal: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Vinay_raghavan/GSOC2014_proposal My user page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Vinay_raghavan I would really appreciate any sort of feedback on my proposal. Thanks, Vinay Raghavan vinayraghavan(a)outlook.com

Why is Cologne Blue still in core?
by Jon Robson 21 Mar '14

21 Mar '14

This may be controversial but hopefully there is logic in what I'm about to see. I just took a look at Cologne Blue and there are a huge host of CSS issues. It makes me wonder if anyone is actually maintaining it. All the other skins seems to render nicely. Coordinates overlap the header and the Echo button is overlapping other text. It just looks shoddy [1]. Firstly is anyone actively maintaining it for Wikimedia sites? Secondly, how widely used is it on our production Wikimedia wikis? I suspect it would be a good idea to at the very least move it into its own extension and possibly disable it on some Wikimedia sites or all Wikimedia sites. >From my personal opinion, the less skins we have to maintain on Wikimedia sites on the better, and if no one actively cares or uses a skin then it is silly to invest time in doing so...

GSoC proposal: Wikimedia Identities Editor
by Erick Guan 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi, I've publish a proposal[1] about Wikimedia Identities Editor. The mentors will be Alvaro del Castillo, Daniel Izquierdo. Mediawiki Community Metrics is a Wikimedia project which goal is to describe how the MediaWiki / Wikimedia tech community is doing. But it is lack of the management tools to allow the community member to manage their profile and update their info on the Web interface. We should also provide OAuth login as an option and provide locale settings. Please help me review the proposal. Feedback is welcome.

GSoC 2014 proposal
by Kunal Grover 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi everyone, I am interested in a GSoC 2014 project with the Wikimedia Foudation The project aims at solving a few critical bugs in the Mediawiki Translate extension and making it much more efficient and better. These are the bugs included in the project. Please tell if you have any suggestions :) 1-Having the page title optionally selected for translation. In a few cases, the title mightn't be relevant and it shouldn't be translated. 2-This is a bug with core. Requirement to set the content language while creating a page. 3-The translated page isn't updated when a translation unit page is moved or deleted. 4-Redesign of interface of the extension on pages and the language bar. 5-Changes in Special:AggregateGroups-Currently, it is not possible to change an aggregate group description or group name on Special:AggregateGroups. Also, the page should have a read-only output for users with insufficient permissions. Please check-out the detailed explanation of these bugs and aimed implementation. I would really appreciate some feedback. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Kunalgrover05/GSoc_Proposal Thank You.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [GSoC 2014] UniversalLanguageSelector fonts for Chinese wikis
by xiangquan xiao 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi, As the deadline is comming, I come to publicize myself again :) I have just updated the core part of my proposal [1]. Hope to see any advice or comments. Thanks a lot! [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Xiaoxiangquan/UniversalLanguageSelector… *---------------------About Chinese Font Tailor--------------------* In the ULS webfonts's repository( ULS:/data/fontrepo/fonts ), Autonym contains all the characters needed for the ULS UI. It only needs tens of Chinese characters, so only keep them, and kick the other tens of thousands out. That's how Chinese Font Tailor will work! But it's for general purpose, not only for UI. *I think there are two approaches.* - Aggressive update: Whenever a page is updated, scan it to see what characters are used and then generate the font for it. Advantage: quick response for visiting Disadvantage: it seems to affect the external logic - Lazy update: Whenever a page is visited and ULS is called, scan it to see what characters are used and then generate the font for it. Cache the font with a timestamp, then we can use it directly in future when finding it up-to-date after comparing the font's and the page's timestamp. Advantage: better cohesion Disadvantage: may cause notable delay for the first visiting I myself suggest the latter one, as wiki pages tend to Write Once and Read Many. *Implementation* - A script that run on server will tailor the font file for a specified page called ABC. The font file will be named ABC_FONT-NAME_TIMESTAMP.ttf. - Modify the webfonts js (ULS:/resources/js/) to pack some parameters needed, such as the page name - A php script serve the right font for the webfonts' call. ---------------------------------------------------- Best regards,
