Hi All, I have created a full project proposal for extension Editor Rewards (Integrating "who's been awesome?"). It will be great if you can tell what is missing in it.

Hey Eranga,
I'm happy to do an IRC discussion if you'd like, I tend to log in around mid day PST but am also online later in the evening as username: Jamesofur. (I'm not 'always' in #mediawiki but I am always in #wikimedia-operations). I'm also available almost always on gtalk or aim (Jalexander@wikimedia.orgfor gtalk and jralex17 for aim) and remain online there even while asleep from my phone.
For the questions you specifically asked:
- sorry by 'when feedback is turned' what I was trying to say was when
the editor feedback tool stopped (currently I believe they ask for feedback up until 100 edits) You can see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:MoodBar_Closeup.jpg where their link up in that area.
- I'm not sure the 'need more time' option is necessary but I thought
it would be nice. The idea was that if someone wanted to fill it out but didn't want to do it 'right then' (they clicked it not knowing what it was etc.) that they could click 'need more time' and the link would remain up in the corner (as if they had never clicked on it). If they said "no thank you" the link would disappear.
Let me know if you need anything else and I promise to try and response a lot faster! The proposal you're working on looks great. There were a couple other people who expressed interest in this project and I'm going to send an email later today (yes it will in fact be today!) to the wikitech-l mailing list naming you all so that you guys can chat and figure stuff out together. If possible I want to make sure that we don't end up with everyone pushing hard for only the one project and then everyone but 1 not getting accepted. You've been working on it the longest so you definetly have a legs up there.

Hi James, I need to clarify some things about MerchTool. It will be great if you and I can have a IRC session to discuss about this. These days I am working on my project proposal and I am planning on writing an extension for this. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!

Hi James, Nice to hear from you. Thanks for your UI mockup. I went through it and got an idea about the functionality needed. I will describe what I understood by using a simple scenario. Suppose there is a user who has done 99 edits to a wiki. When he do his 100th edit and save it, he will be moved to a page with saved article. Then a link will appear in the top navigation bar in that page mentioning "Know an editor who deserves a reward?" (Now this user has done 100 edits. Therefore, whenever this user edit an article and save it, this link will appear) . When user clicks this link, a popup box with praising interface will appear. Then user can praise for another user and submit. After that thanks interface will appear in the popup box.
If user clicks "No thanks" from praising interface, user will be moved to no thanks interface. In there if user clicks on "No thanks, please don't ask me again", reward link will not appear in next edits by that user. If he clicks on "Please let me know next time", praising will be ignored only for this edit.
I have few questions
- In your first UI mockup(MerchTool1), in yellow tag what do you mean
by "when feed back is turned"?
- What will happen when user clicks on "I just need a bit more time,
please keep the banner up now" in no thanks interface?
Thanks

And sorry wikitech :) if you didn't figure it out already this wasn't meant for the whole list (thought I was on a private thread).
Carry on!

Hey guys,
Sorry for the delay (I've been swamped getting the store up and running). I still want to write up a bit more for you to understand why I'm looking for stuff but I did want to at least attach the mockup I made a while ago :)

Eranga,
Thanks for writing! Yes, I did get your email on the 3rd but have not had time to respond to it yet; my apologies.
James, please do share your notes and mockups. Thanks!
The text of the email, for the benefit of the list, with my responses inline:

I am guessing that the problem was that you tried to send big attachments. This list doesn't allow that. As you see, your most recent email made it in fine. You can change your preferences by logging in at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-lto leave digest mode and see mail as individual threads.

Go ahead and request a Git repository via this procedure: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/New_repositories First you'll need a Wikimedia Labs account, and I'll need from you:
Preferred wiki username. This will also be your git username, solegal name would be reasonable Preferred email address Preferred shell account name (lowercase letters and numbers only)
Then you can put your code where we can see it! :-)

If you tell me your mediawiki.org username then I can ensure that you can upload those screenshots to mediawiki.org so everyone can see them. :-)
