Re: [Wikitech-l] GSOC Proposal: Watchlist Improvements

Hello, My name is Aaron Pramana and I am a prospective student for GSOC with Mediawiki. A week ago, I posted a brief explanation of my idea on a bug fix page, but I haven't had time to elaborate on the Wikitech list, as Sumana suggested I do. This proposal is an amalgamation of several small improvements which will make the watchlist more accessible. My goal for this project is to retrofit the watchlist with an emphasis on improving the workflow for current and potential power-users. Objectives: *add a way to group similar pages into subdirectories (e.g. Special:Watchlist/GroupName) *allow bulk watchlist modifications (rollback/unwatch) with checkboxes *unify the "watched changes", "view/edit" sections *incorporate ajax for actions that don't require a page reload (if time allows) Does anyone have additional features/bugs that they'd like to see added/fixed on the watchlist? Please provide links to bug requests if they exist. Over the next week or so, I should be more responsive to replies as my school will be on Spring Break. I am about halfway finished with a proposal, so it should be available for review then. Please let me know if my ideas have potential for a successful proposal and if there is anything I can add. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
