Dear Bahodir, dear everyone,
I have just done what you suggested thanks. How long does it usually take
to get a project on gerrit? Should we use some github repo until then?
From my experience it's usually a couple of days. I'd look at the page
history to getter a better sense of the timing.
What about the vagrant role? I saw a list of
them:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki-Vagrant/Roles and it seems that
NOT every extension has a vagrent role. Do we need this? If so where do we
apply for that?
I don't think every extension needs a vagrant role, especially if just a
few people are developing the extension and if manually setting it up is
not hard. You can just clone your repo into the existing vagrant folder. If
you still want to have the role created, I think your best bet is to create
a phabricator task and mark it with "MediaWiki-Vagrant".
Right. Not everything needs a Vagrant role. However, having one definitely
increases the chance of people using your extension :) As Baha suggested,
you can file a new task in Phabricator and tag it with the
MediaWiki-Vagrant project.
I would strongly suggest, though, to look at other extension roles and
model yours after them. Just take a peek in the
puppet/modules/role/manifests directory of your vagrant clone.
Also I forgot to mention that quite a while ago
we esablished the
phabricator tag
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mooc-interface/
does
it make sense to continue using this one or should it be renamed to MOOC?
I don't see why not to continue using the existing project.
Either is fine, I think.
Cheers,
Marko
best Rene

Hey Everyone,
I am an active contributer to Wikiversity (German and English). Over the
years we realized that Mediawiki is not really providing everything a
student and teacher needs in the classroom. Therefor Sebastian Schlicht
and
me have created a bunch of javascript, Lua modules and templates in
order
to pimp the user interface and some processes on the english
wikiversity.
A community poll has showed that our scripts should have been moved to
common.js
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity_talk:MOOC_Interface#Support
The improvements can be seen live in this course:
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Web_Science/Part1:_Foundations_of_the_web/I…
Over the time we have realised that it would be better to create a
standalone Mediawiki extension since this is more stable. So we propsed
our
Idea to this years fOERder award which gave us some founding for this
OER
(Open educational resources) related project.
Today Sebastian and I started our process.
* We have been installing vagrant and have a mediawiki running locally!
This is great and was well documented.
* I have created:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MOOC
* We need a gerrit Project extension/MOOC
* We need a vagrent role for this
Abraham Taherivand suggested to send a mail to this list with our needs
and
our introduction.
Being new in the Wikimedia world it can be a little bit confusing - even
though everything is well documented - so I am sorry if we had overseen
something in the documentation. So we would be really happy for support,
pointers and hints and especially for a gerrit project and a vagrent
role.
My username in gerrit as in other wikis is renepick
Best regards Sebastian Schlicht and Rene Pickhardt
