Hi all!
I joined to this mailing list because I am a MediaWiki user and I like FOSS, I
would like to contribute to Wikimedia Foundation by participating to GSoC
2015.
>From the ideas list I liked more Extension to identify and delete spam pages
and Newsletter MediaWiki extension, I like web development but I usually don't
have much time to expand my knowledge, and this would be a very good occasion
for me to both contribute to the community, learn more interesting stuff, know
better Wikimedia community, and have the possibility to do this gorgeous stuff
full time this summer :)
I have recently completed Aerospace Engineering and I am student of Electronic
Engineering right now, as hobby I have done web development and design, so I
know HTML, CSS, JavaScript and various web development technology such as
JQuery and AJAX, while I have basic knowledge of SQL, Python and PHP.
I would know which of the ideas I like is priority?
I am very motivated to do this project and I would definitely learn a lot of
things, moreover i would like to continue to cooperate with Wikimedia
community also after the GSoC ends
Thanks for this possibility!
Cheers!
Vicky
How can project ideas being assigned to a student before all students have
submitted their proposal. i too wanted to put my proposal but my mentor
says he has already selected one student for this project. this is not fair.
Hi should we rename two extensions with the same name since it is confusing which one to use and since they have the same name the api would show the same extension twice and then wikiapriary would think your using both so if one had for example version 1.7 and the other 2.0 that would be confusing.
the extensions are DynamicPageList (Wikimedia) and DynamicPageList (third-party)
Should we change DynamicPageList (Wikimedia) back to intersection.
We have working support for installing MediaWiki-Vagrant in an LXC
container now!
See the instructions in support/README-lxc.md [0] for a description of
how to use it from a Ubuntu 14.04 host computer. Patches are welcome
giving alternate instructions for other distributions. Note that
Vagrant 1.7+ is required for the latest version of the vagrant-lxc
plugin that this uses so you will probably not be able to install
Vagrant from a package repo unless you are running Debian unstable.
Making using MediaWiki-Vagrant a lighter weight experience for users
who are running Linux on their laptops. I took a shot at this right
after Wikimania last year by figuring out how to use MediaWiki-Vagrant
to provision a Docker container. That experiment made a system that we
too unstable for me to promote anyone using it as more than a proof of
concept. Since then I've "been meaning to" try out LXC by using the
vagrant-lxc plugin [1] and last weekend I finally found the time.
Thanks to Marko Obrovac and Dan Duvall for helping test this.

organization.
how should i proceed..??
do we need to solve any bugs..??
I'm working on cleaning up the code[1] for GrantsBot[2] and generally
getting it into better and more robust shape. I've started writing basic
unit tests to assist in the refactoring process. Since it interacts so
heavily with the MediaWiki API, however, this isn't a straightforward
process, and it's even more complicated because I'll be rewriting it to use
a different client library (so any mocks/stubs I include will need to be
rewritten). Does anyone have thoughts on the best strategy for this, or,
more generally, pointers to good resources for writing unit tests for API
clients?

Hey everyone,
I want to build a "better" watchlist as an OAuth tool – this would
include cross-wiki watchlist & notifications support as well as distinct
features like inline diffs. I see the opportunity here to experiment
with the design and do things differently without breaking any existing
workflows.
I've made a basic prototype at https://tools.wmflabs.org/watchr/ which
currently orientates itself much on the MW watchlist design. It is
currently quite limited and only queries a list of hand-picked projects.
One of the things I would like to support is dynamic filtering (as shown
by the search box in the prototype).
See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T92955 for a screenshot and more
details. It's build with a AngularJS frontend and a python backend.
I'm looking for possible mentors, anyone interested? Feel free to ping
me in IRC under the nick sitic, I idle around in the usual channels.
Thanks
sitic
