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

The improvements can be seen live in this course:

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
