Hello Sumana
Thank you for your feedback I have updated my proposal on my user page.
"This project will also benefit Wikimedia projects
that also use a
Moodle instance." As far as I know, there are no Wikimedia projects
that also make use of Moodle; did you perhaps mean MediaWiki instances?
See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikipmediawiki for some key terms.
I meant moodle instances I have tried to make this clearer in the synopsis
Would one MediaWiki installation only be able to
reference or transclude
information from a single Moodle instance, or several?
If I have time during this project to robustly implement the prefix system
specified in the extension deliverables it will be able to gather
information from several Moodle instances. I updated this in the synopsis
What kind of documentation would you write? A user
help manual? A
walkthrough of your code architecture for use by future developers?
Automated browser tests? A video tutorial?
I was thinking to make the extension page describing what the plugin does,
how to use it, the current stage of development. I also want to document
each function and file for future development. Updated in timeline
Jan Luca is your primary mentor; who is your second
mentor? These
people will do a lot of the code review.
Sorry I didn't know I needed two mentors how can I find another for this
project?
Are you planning on writing unit tests as you write the
code? If so,
please mention that in the schedule.
I was planning to do this yes mostly for the moodle tag arguments and
webservices calls. Updated in Timeline
Where will your test installation be? Wikimedia Labs
might be suitable;
check to see whether it would work for your purposes.
Jan luca set up a Wiki Labs for this project the installation will be
there. Updated in Timeline
Thanks again it really helped.

Hello
I have finished writing my proposal for the moodle extension GSoC
project.
I
am currently linking to the existing bug report
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47381. Any feedback on
the
proposal would be great!
Thank you all (especially for helping me setup my development environment
on IRC),

Hi, Rohan. Thanks for your proposal and for sending a link to this
list. I enjoyed reading it (you are refreshingly candid and you
mentioned cake), but I have some questions you ought to address in the
proposal.

It would definitely help your application if you got a developer access
account and started fixing a small bug or two in MediaWiki.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45382 would be a
reasonable one to start with.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker should
get you started.
Good luck!
