Hi all. I just wrapped up my three-month-long Summer of Code project, "Improving support for book structures".[1][2] I worked to create an extension, BookManagerv2, that will allow wikis to store metadata and structural information about books. This information is entered using a form, and stored in a JSON block. This block is then used to create navigation bars for the section pages, and will ideally be used in the future to allow things like one-click actions on entire books.

The extension is not complete, as it has a number of remaining bugs that must be solved before it can go to security review.[3] That said, I hope to close these up soon. My wrap-up blog post has some more information, if you're interested.[4]

Thanks so much for all of the support—my mentors and the MediaWiki and other Wikimedia communities have been instrumental in the work I've accomplished.
