Hi
My name is Sanyam Goyal. I have recently finished my gsoc project
"javascript overhaul of
SMW"<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sanyamgoyal>under the guidance
of Yaron Koren. The project was successfully finished as
planned. more information can be found on the status
page<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sanyamgoyal/GSoC2010/Status>
.
Basic Summary is that lot of functionality like autocomplete , float-box,
datepicker, combo-box etc in SMW and its spin-off extensions are
re-implemented using the jQuery library , which is becoming a MW standard
now . Also few new features like autocomplete in Special:Ask , jqPlot and
jqPie in SRF , autoGrow textarea in SF, creating Special:CreateClass more
dynamic, simpledatepicker in SFI etc. have been added as new functionality
again using jQuery only.
I can understand if the wiki-pages looks less informative for now, But I
will try to put more detailed wiki pages soon.
moreover if you have any questions about any functionality or anything in
general, I will be glad to answer.
Thanks
Hope you like the new features.
