I drafted my proposal for the Math equations for VisualEditor Plugin,
please have a read and help pointing me a right direction.
I have not put a bug report link yet, since I wonder if I shall just use
the exsiting link or create a new one.
Thanks! :D

Hello,
Thanks for your friendly replies.
I am interested in the awesome Visual Editor and would like to take the
plugins project idea. I would like to focus on adding support for editing
equations and also insertion of images.
If you are interested in support for mathematical equations then this is
an interesting area where improvements are welcome.
See
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.**org/show_bug.cgi?id=43058<https://bugzilla.…
we know the situation isn't ideal (and not even well documented) but
James Forrester (VisualEditor product manager and volunteer mentor) can
help pointing to possible directions.
An alternative idea is to leave VisualEditor aside and work on features to
improve the current Math support. You should take into consideration how
equations are currently rendered in MediaWiki by default with the Math
extension and with the opt-in MathJax support.
Coincidentally, today we had lunch with James Forrester (VisualEditor
product manager) and a member of the MathJax team, and the interest shown
by a student (you) came to the conversation. We might get him as co-mentor
from MathJax if your present a proposal and it's selected.
But there is a lot of definition work that needs to be done and there are
not many days left. In addition to this, OPW requires a small contribution
related to your proposal. I'm not the best person to recommend a small task
in this area, but there is no lack of open Bugzilla reports under the Math
extension...

These are common and useful functions, what are
your opinions on the value
of this proposal to mediawiki?
Google docs handles these two quite nicely with their editor. Though we
can't see the language they represent it with I would like to accomplish
something similar for visual editor.
