For the coding challenge, I wanted to have something very concise to
teach people who aren't necessarily new to JS, but who are new to
MediaWiki, about user scripts & gadgets. I took a stab at it here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gadget_kitchen
Would appreciate help, esp. in terms of making my tutorial script
nicer or fixing any mistakes/bad practices. If this looks like it
could become a useful central page, perhaps others would be interested
in writing tutorial scripts demonstrating more advanced concepts both
of MediaWiki / the API, as well as JavaScript development in general?
I think having really good introductory docs and tutorials on
MediaWiki.org will become ever-more important as we expand what the
gadgets framework can do (RL2 and beyond), so any help & feedback is
appreciated :)
Cheers,
Erik
