Re: [Wikitech-l] VisualEditor roadmap - extensibility within MediaWiki?

VisualEditor is very extendable by design. You can do pretty much anything you want with a plugin, and we've demonstrated this with many existing plugins that provide all sorts of interesting features. The APIs for adding features to VisualEditor, while perhaps not as well documented as we'd like them to be, have existed for years and are now quite stable. We have seen extensions such as math, graph and score be integrated into VisualEditor by developers who are relatively new to the code base. However, direct communication with the team was still important to those efforts. The documentation that does exist is generated from code comments, and the VisualEditor code base is particularly well documented. There was a supplemental documentation effort for OOjs UI this time last year, and I think that worked out pretty well. This may be something we can do in the next six months, but there are not yet any concrete plans to do so. Ed Sanders is a good person to be in touch with, along with others on the VosualEditor team, who are easily reached on IRC. See the MediaWiki page on VisialEditor for details. - Trevor On Thursday, January 21, 2016, Daniel Barrett <danb(a)cimpress.com> wrote:
