Hi everyone,
My name is Akanksha (or akangupt if you've seen me on IRC). I intend to participate in Outreachy round-11 for the project : Technology to transclude git content into wiki pages. I have completed respective microtask for this project and submitted the project proposal too.
Quick Summary : It’s convenient to get the information from wiki pages directly rather than searching in git repositories for documentation and code snippets. To facilitate this, developers end up dumping the git-docs on wiki. Many times Wiki pages of git-docs are outdated or wrong. This is intuitive because developers are not required to keep track of every commit/merge in corresponding repositories and then update the wiki-pages accordingly. Solution: In order to avoid outdated, wrong documentations and facilitate the ease of inserting code snippets from git repositories to wiki, the proposal is to create an extension, which would transclude the git content in wiki and update them when corresponding git-docs get updated.
Project Proposal : https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117167 Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for any feedback.
Cheers, Akanksha
