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... https://bugzilla.wikimedia.**org/buglist.cgi?list_id=** 197627&resolution=---&query_**format=advanced&component=** Math&product=MediaWiki%**20extensions<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org… -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/**User:Qgil<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/… ______________________________**_________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/**mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l<https://lists.…
