Hi all,
I want to inform you that we started a new project called Huggle WA, it's a web interface based version of popular utility Huggle. It is being developed by original huggle developers and some other devs and everyone else, who is interested in this project. Production version and development server is going to be hosted by wikimedia labs. The tool is probably going to use OAuth for authentication as soon as it is available and its goal is to allow anyone with browser to use the utility.
Main benefits include:
- no need to update sw (updates are being done on server) - no need to download anything or need to have extra permissions on computer you want to use - easy access, from any pc
The binary version is still in development, and it's going to be supported together with the web version. Both versions are going to be compatible, so that all your settings and history will be transferred from one to other.
In case you are interested in this project, reply here, or join #huggle on freenode and ask there!
I forgot explain what huggle actually is :-) so bellow is some information
Huggle is an application for dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia, it is supported on any wmf project where they request it to be enabled. Its purpose is to easily deal with any kind of vandalism, including sysop tools, like rollback or block.

I'm interested - I'm not sure how much development I could do.

Hi Mono, thanks! In that case, best what you can do is open #huggle on freenode and send me your google account to my email benapetr@gmail.com, I give you svn access.

Hey Petr,
I might be able to help you out with this (will try to find my way to #huggle tonight). Seems an interesting project.
Is there anything in particular you're looking for help with? Is there a demo/test version in place? What state is the development in at the moment (i.e. is there a working prototype or...?)

We started like... today :) so there is no working demo, however since I am a developer of current application which is written in c#, it's probably clear that I don't understand development of web applications very well, the reason why this project exist is that some guys who do understand it came with the idea and I help them with maintenance and php code. I definitely don't understand html, css and javascript. Only I can help with is php, so anyone else who can join and help is welcome! I am basically trying to lead the web developers the way which the web app will be 100% compatible with current binary version, since I know how does it work. I would prefer to use even same localization files as we use for application, since there is a translation for more than 15 languages already completed and all text should be same.

Interesting.
Well web applications are my speciality at the moment so I will pop in later and see if I can contribute.

(Combining quotes of Petr's explanations above for ease of forwarding.)
This is a big deal and I'm glad it's happening.
Huggle has at least thousands of users, I'm guessing (Petr, perhaps you have a better number?) but until now it's only worked on Windows. As a web app, it'll enable vandalism patrollers on Linux, Macintosh, and tablets as well. So, this is great news!
Petr, there are folks at the Foundation who are interested in helping out with the UI and with helping you make sure that the web-based version works well on mobile. So I'm cc'ing them. Best of luck!
