Hi everyone, Its been quite some time since I posted any mail in this list, well this time its regarding the project details that I would like to share with the community.First of all let me explain it to all the people who are not aware of what this extension does -- Convention Extension would help an admin convert his wiki into a conference like website such as Wikimania. So that means all of the features which you would normally find in a conference management system could be set up with the help of this extension on a wiki. All of what has been done in this project is the result of a constructive feedback from the members of wikimedia development community that I have gotten till now, and I hope to be getting it all summer. Even though I may have never contributed to open source community at such a scale but lately the interactions that I had with the developers helped me understand the importance of collaborative work. Me and my mentor (Jure Kajzer) have prepared a schedule that I would be following this summer to accomplish the tasks that I have set up in my proposal which is to finish the basic workflow of this extension by the end of this gsoc term. Later on (after GSOC) features like ranking proposal system, payment gateway would be implemented as part of this project. In the first few weeks , I would work on completing the back-end[1] part of the architecture , and once that is finished my second job would be to build UI interfaces for this extension. I have created a page under mediawiki.org [2] which contains all the implementation details for this project. Any one who feels the need of any other feature that they would like being developed and shipped along with this extension can be amended on the page mentioned before.(even though I only would be able to work on these features after GSOC ).
