Hi guys,
My name is Sagie, I'm a first-year CS and linguistics student at Tel-Aviv University.
I'm applying for GSoC this summer and wanted to introduce myself. I actually talked
with some of you on #mediawiki last night, under the handle "n0nick".
I've been a professional web developer for 6 years, mostly done PHP work. I'm
fairly familiar with web & wiki frameworks in general, and have had some (short)
experience with MediaWiki.
I'd like to read your thoughts on the following projects I had my eyes on:
* Inline Editing extension for MW/SMW
Sounds like a very interesting and useful project to work on, and seems to me it fits the
timeframe.
I saw that there's been a lot of work done already for this task by user janpaul123,
and was wondering what's the status of this project and how I can help with making
this a possible GSoC project.
* Sidebar/toolbar customization GUI
I understand there's overhaul work being done on element skin systems, but I talked
with Dantman about the sidebar customization and from what I understand, it's possible
to take this project as long as my work is abstract (and good) enough.
Anyone has other thoughts on this? Should I perhaps avoid working on something that might
interfere with current developers work?
* Email notifications
Again, I see in the wiki page that some work has been done on this, and testing and
bugfixing is required.
Do you think it could be a suitable summer project?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
