I believe we had a GSOC project not long ago (Last year?) to improve
the login progress (including the AJAX side of things and API support
for it). Although for security reasons I believe we would want to
leave the Login stuff on it's own page (for security reasons).
Yeah, I think Shivansh didn't look carefully enough at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_Past_Projects when I
pointed him there to compare his ideas with other past projects. :-)
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_Past_Projects#Signup_API
Signup API (Original name: "Account Creation, Login Screens and
AJAX-ification of everything"). Goal: Implement the Account creation
proposal, which would allow for Ajax-based login. This was implemented
as the SignupAPI extension.
Status: The SignupAPI extension is currently at "experimental" status.
Some of Akshay Agarwal's commits have received code critique and await
improvement. Akshay is responding to those critiques and working towards
the goal of deploying the extension on WMF wikis.
CC'ing Akshay. Akshay, how is that going?
