Hey all,
I have made a big change to my proposal in accordance to community's
responses.
I'd like to invite feedback on this new proposal,
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jiabao_wu/GSoC_2013_Application
I know the VisualEditor team and everyone else are all very busy as its
almost
closing in to the final submission date, but comments still would be great,
either before or after that deadline.
A short summary of my approach to VisualEditor Mathematical Equation Plugin
step 1: make a node handler in visual editor to allow
user to type in
LaTex
code in a box and display it underneath in real time,
which is similar to
Aloha Editor suggested by Peter.
step 2: update the GUI to have symbols and function
buttons, which allow
user
to click the buttons and insert the latex code of the
symbol or function
in
the editing box
step 3: allow users with latex experience to edit math
in VisualEditor
like
in Google Docs (this has been moved to optional
currently, but still very
likely to be able to make it.)
Those changes are applied to my synopsis, deliverables, and timeline.
Thanks!
