Dear Bahodir, dear everyone,
I have just done what you suggested thanks. How long does it usually take to get a project on gerrit? Should we use some github repo until then?
What about the vagrant role? I saw a list of them: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Vagrant/Roles and it seems that NOT every extension has a vagrent role. Do we need this? If so where do we apply for that?
Also I forgot to mention that quite a while ago we esablished the phabricator tag https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mooc-interface/ does it make sense to continue using this one or should it be renamed to MOOC?
best Rene

Hey Everyone,
I am an active contributer to Wikiversity (German and English). Over the years we realized that Mediawiki is not really providing everything a student and teacher needs in the classroom. Therefor Sebastian Schlicht and me have created a bunch of javascript, Lua modules and templates in order to pimp the user interface and some processes on the english wikiversity.
A community poll has showed that our scripts should have been moved to common.js https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity_talk:MOOC_Interface#Support
The improvements can be seen live in this course:
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Web_Science/Part1:_Foundations_of_the_web/In...
Over the time we have realised that it would be better to create a standalone Mediawiki extension since this is more stable. So we propsed our Idea to this years fOERder award which gave us some founding for this OER (Open educational resources) related project.
Today Sebastian and I started our process.
- We have been installing vagrant and have a mediawiki running locally!
This is great and was well documented.
- I have created: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MOOC
- We need a gerrit Project extension/MOOC
- We need a vagrent role for this
Abraham Taherivand suggested to send a mail to this list with our needs and our introduction.
Being new in the Wikimedia world it can be a little bit confusing - even though everything is well documented - so I am sorry if we had overseen something in the documentation. So we would be really happy for support, pointers and hints and especially for a gerrit project and a vagrent role.
My username in gerrit as in other wikis is renepick
Best regards Sebastian Schlicht and Rene Pickhardt
