Hey all,
As a lot of you already know, I'm again doing a Google Summer of Code
project for the WMF this year. The goal of this *awesome* project is to
create a set user friendly administration interfaces via which
administrators can manage the configuration of their wiki and extensions as
well as manage extension installation and updating. The user experience
should be as *awesome* as the Wordpress one, or even better.
After doing research in existing code and talking to the relevant people, I
created a little roadmap [0] of how I plan to proceed with my project. Any
feedback and comments on this would be very much appreciated (esp the critic
ones :). It'd be to bad to reinvent things already achieved by people,
simply by me not knowing about it! I hope to start with the actual coding by
this weekend, and will update the roadmap, and the docs page itself [1], as
well as my blog [2], as I make progress.
