Hi there!
I am Lukas Benedix, a student of computer science at the Freie Universität Berlin in Germany. In cooperation with the Wikidata developer team, I’m currently working on my bachelor thesis about usability testing in open source software projects and I’d like to provide the Wikidata community my developed feedback mechanisms (only as a test). Wikidata is a very active, emerging project which is why I think it’s a great platform for my project.
And now here's the problem: The deadline of my bachelor thesis is approaching soon. The test is designed to run for two weeks and I unfortunately underestimated how much time it needs to get a review for my extension before deployment.
Is it possible to accelerate that review process somehow? The extension is in gerrit (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/50004)
Do you have any advice what I can do?
For further information about my project: Here's a little description I wrote for the Wikidata community: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lbenedix/UIFeedback
Best regards, Lukas Benedix
Lukas, can you give more specifics regarding your deadline? A variety of people would have to help you get through all the steps of https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Writing_an_extension_for_deployment and so it might not be feasible to get all these things done in time. :( In that case you should possibly consider setting up a Wikidata variant in Wikimedia Labs -- https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/ .
