The idea of voice/video conferencing is appealing, but likely not feasible with everyone
having different schedules and timezones. So email and IRC will have to do.

At this point, after the terrorization onwiki, video/voice doesn't work for me.
I've no interest in participating in that. I'm willing to listen and view, but
only share via text at this point. I hope everyone can understand and respect my position
on that. T13

I support the video/voice conferencing, but I often work in an environment where it's
important to be quiet, so I hope it's fine if I provide my (limited, due to
limited/nonexistent PHP skills) input over text and mainly listen. My commitment of one
hour a week was a minimum; I plan/hope to spend more time on the project.
Thanks,

I personally intend to dedicate 3 or 4 full days a week to development once I get back on
top of my classes next week. It'll likely take me a few hours to get accommodated
with our new environment, but I should be able to quick migrate tools in one at a time
once I am familiar. Getting the first tool set ul and the connection to the database will
be the hardest part, the rest will fall into place easily and be cake work. T13

I think we need to admit that while the organisation and coordination of the work is in
every way as important as getting these essential tools back up and running, unlike
writing new articles for Wikipedia , time is not on our side. I’m therefore rater hesitant
with offers of help that due to school can only inject one or two hours a week into the
project. That’s partly what got us into this mess in the first place.
I realise that not everyone is like me: over 65 , retired, and has time on their hands,
but I think we should be looking at a dedication of two or three complete evenings a week
until the job is done. Public holidays should be providing more time rather than being a
reason to take leave from the urgency.
Also, addressing the advantages of video conferencing again, I am in exactly the opposite
time zone to the whole of the USA which means I often have to chat in what is the middle
of the night here in Thailand. I think that’s also the least anyone should be prepared to
do for multi-zone, multi-cultural Wikipedia.

Hi,
I do understand and I would be okay with that as long as it is the consensus of the group.
I have created a new GitHub account @TaqPol-wiki as I’d prefer to separate this account
from the one I used for LxCenter and my personal projects.
I’m glad that my limited availability is okay with you. I usually can contribute more than
that but the amount of work I have for university is unpredictable so I don’t really want
to make commitments that I cannot meet.
Best wishes,
TaqPol

Looks good, but note we may not necessarily be using a framework, it seems (getting
conflicting recommendations), but certainly a templating engine of sorts. We are open to
all ideas, but would you be okay working with something other than Laravel if it came down
to it? Also, do you have a GitHub account?
Thank you for also being upfront about your availability. It's all volunteer work and
even small contributions here and there are helpful and appreciated.

Subject: [xTools] TaqPol - PHP Developer & Sysadmin
Hello,
I am writing in response to the call of developers for xTools on Wikipedia.
I have previously been a Core member in the LxCenter team, which released the open source
web hosting control panel Kloxo and the VPS control panel HyperVM. I work as both a PHP
developer and a sysadmin there, as I also find sponsorship on behalf of LxCenter and
manages the sponsored server although another developer manages the main web server etc.
I currently develop with Laravel, although for simpler application I use packages from
Packgist (e.g. Plates) and I personally think Laravel would be the best way to go,
considering the a MVC implementation is desirable and it provides many useful functions
e.g. an excellent ORM, code injection interface and template engine.
I am afraid I don’t have 10-15 years of experience and I self-learnt PHP. That being said,
I am very willing to learn new stuffs. I am willing to commit to the project. I generally
respond to messages in 24 hours and can commit for at least 2 hours per week during term
time.
Best wishes,
TaqPol
