It looks good.  I have a couple small notes:

1. Firefogg only helps in one particular case (Firefox users with a
particular addon installed), so it may not be worth it.
2. Please use clear names for the mockup images, not things like
Without.v01.png and S4.png.  You can either get someone to rename them
on MediaWiki.org, or just upload new images to Wikimedia Commons then
put {{delete}} on the old ones.

Re: [Wikitech-l] GSoC 2013 Proposal - Language Coverage Matrix Dashboard

2013-04-28 Thread Amir E. Aharoni 
The proposal is good, in general.

A few items that could be added to the planning section are some
things that would be directly useful to MediaWiki developers and
Wikmedia site maintainers:
* Direct integration with existing lists of languages: Names.php,
langdb.yaml in jquery.uls, extra languages supported in
translatewiki.net and incubator, etc.
* Integration with a matrix of existing or planned Wikimedia projects,
so it would be clear from the matrix - is there a project in this
language? Are the language tools extensions installed in this project?
Is there an incubator project in this language?
* Understanding variants: does this language supports variants in any way?

To the "if time permits" section I would add integration with other
knowledge bases about languages, such as Ethnologue, CLDR and others,
that would provide information such as number of speakers, literacy
levels, language contact, etc. This way it would be possible to see,
in a way that is slightly more structured that what we have now, how
well our projects are covering the different languages of the world.

Re: [Wikitech-l] GSoC2013/OPW Proposal: VisualEditor RTL Support

2013-04-28 Thread Amir E. Aharoni 
My first thought is that this would be a fantastic project.

RTL support in the VisualEditor is a must in any case. Getting it done
by a person who knows an RTL language is obviously preferable.

The general RTL requirement are already written (mostly by myself),
and the proposal links to them.

There are several open questions, which should be answered by somebody
who knows the VE (and possible Parsoid) code well:

1. Is the scope of this project appropriate for GSoC? It could be too
small, because maybe the basic infrastructure for adding RTL
attributes is already available through inspectors. It could also be
too large, because maybe the current infrastructure is too rudimentary
and the codebase is too complicated for a new student.

1.a If the scope is too small, one thing to consider would be to add
support for a page language to MediaWiki. I refer to the topic that
was recently discussed in a thread started by Erik Moeller:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-April/068705.html
. This is something that would be very useful for good
internationalization of the VisualEditor.

2. If the scope is appropriate, I would very gladly co-mentor this
project, but another mentor from the VisualEditor team would be
required.

That sounds interesting. I may be willing to (co-)mentor if the category
redirect thing falls through.

From your userpage I see you are still waiting to hear from something else.
I would reccomend still officially submitting your proposal now, and just
make sure to let us know if you are actually available before we have to
select the proposals.

As for related contrib. Since this is a make a new extension theres not
much related. I would reccomend maybe a resource loader commit as this
project involves lots of js.

[Wikitech-l] GSoC 2013 Proposal - Language Coverage Matrix Dashboard

2013-04-28 Thread Harsh Kothari 
Hi


I am Harsh kothari  I am an engineering student at L.D college. I have been
an open source contributor since last 2 years and am contributing in
MediaWiki since last 8 months. I am passionate about coding and enjoy it
too. I also have been participating in various open source events in
Gujarat as well outside of it.

I am submitting a proposal on Language Coverage Matrix dashboard as my GSoC
2013 project. It would help automate the information about language support
provided by the Language Engineering team for e.g. key maps, web fonts,
translation, language selector, i18n support for gender, plurals, grammar
rules. The LCM would display this information as well as provide
visualization graphs of language coverage using various search criteria
such as tools or languages. it will be of tremendous use to the Language
Engineering Team.

The below mentioned link will elaborate more on my proposal.

Bug filed on Bugzilla

Re: [Wikitech-l] translatewiki.net Android application (was GSoC 2013 proposal)

2013-04-28 Thread Amir E. Aharoni 
I already commented about it at the GSoC site, but I'll summarize here, too:

* Or already worked, together with Tomer Tuchner, on making a
translatewiki.net app for iOS in the last few months. The app is quite
ready and he's working on publishing it in the AppStore. Yuvi Panda,
Pau Giner and myself mentored them.

* Quite naturally, an Android app is needed, too.

* As Or's filed GSoC proposal already says, the goal is not to work
just with translatewiki.net, but with any MediaWiki site that has the
Translate extension.

I believe that this project is viable and in scope. Other comments are
welcome, of course.

In principle if there is an existing bug that fits with your project

I think it can be doable for a GSoC project.

The idea briefly: My idea is to develop a plugin for MediaWiki that enables
the easy embedding of interactive physics demos in wiki articles, using a
Javascript physics engine like Box2web (which is based on Box2D)

You can see the new edited proposal here:

Also, since this idea does not appear in the main idea list, I am hoping
there may be a mentor available :)


Good! There is not much time left. Please file a Bugzilla report and 
submit your proposal to the GSoC site:


http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013

You are also encouraged to submit the proposal to Outreach Program for 
Women. That requires also a first contribution related with your project 
proposal. Any suggestions? I'm no an expert in this area... Maybe 
something related with Commons / media types?


Anyway, the idea is that you just continue with the assumption that a 
mentor will appear. Anybody interested?


Thank you and good luck!

[Wikitech-l] GSoC2013/OPW Proposal: VisualEditor RTL Support

2013-04-28 Thread Moriel Schottlender 
Hello everyone,

This is my second attempt for a proposal, but I think this is a project
that is *much* better than my previous one, and has a much bigger demand.
I'd love to work on this as a GSoC project!

Before I submit this as an official proposal, I'd like to ask for your
thoughts about this. The proposal concentrates on adding RTL support to
VisualEditor, especially based on this requirements/spec page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Bidirectional_text_requirements
Hebrew is my maiden language, and I'm familiar with a lot of the problems
that are raised when using RTL, especially when using it alongside a mix of
LTR and RTL languages.

A first draft of this proposal is available here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mooeypoo/GSOC_2013_Proposal:_RTL_Support_in_VisualEditor

I have experience with Javascript and jQuery, and I'm working on some
Windows8 Metro apps as side projects, which rely heavily on javascript and
html5. However, this is my first time applying for GSoC and it's my first
time contributing to such a big project as MediaWiki and VisualEditor :)

I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas and feedback!
Thank you again,

Moriel Schottlender

Mentors must select "Wish to mentor" in the proposals at the GSoC site 
they feel they could co-mentor.


You are encouraged to wish-to-mentor all the proposals you feel you have 
the interest and the skills. You can specify in the comments whether 
this would be your primary project, whether you could co-mentor if 
project ABC doesn't make it at the end, whether you could co-mentor just 
as long as there is a primary mentor covering XYZ skills you don't have, 
etc.


Sounds a bit messy but I'm sure this data will be helpful and everything 
will be fine.  :)

What are you trying to do that requires that knowledge?  Off the top of my
head (so could be wrong) block level-ness is determined entirely after
parser tags are replaced.

If you are woried about doBlockLevels messing up the output of your
extension, you can return an array with certain structure to tell the
parser to protect your output from doBlockLevels messing with it. (Which is
for example how  is implemented internally I believe)

Brian comments that, for instance, for

Proofread Page extension needs to be refactored
www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Proofread_Page_extension_needs_to_be_refactored

Tpt is the only maintainer and looking at past contributions there is no 
other significant active contributor.


Sure, this is a problem and in fact a factor to push a GSoC / OPW 
project in order to increase the community health of an "endangered 
species".  ;) However, the other co-mentor could be e.g. a qualified 
stakeholder e.g. in this case a Wikisource admin or someone recognized 
in that community, responsive, able to help with prioritization of 
requirements, with testing...


GSoC recommends two mentors per project and we have reached to the same 
conclusion based on our experiences.


See also the lessons learned at 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_5


The case for the second co-mentor is not only "what happens when a 
mentor disappears", which is a extreme case. A second co-mentor is a 
second voice, a second factor of peer pressure, a second eye to detect 
problems earlier...


A team of 3 remote people also leads necessarily to better remote 
communications, better documentation and better openness and capacity to 
include more voices and more people in a project.


Also, mentors learn as much as interns. Two new co-mentors will have an 
easier time than a new mentor alone. A rookie co-mentor can learn from 
one mentor with prior mentoring experience, and then a year later s/he 
will be ready to be the main co-mentor...


Two people alone can do a lot of progress, but they carry a higher risk 
of isolation from the rest of the community. And then one day the intern 
or the mentor starts slacking or vanishing for some reason and all what 
is left are private emails, IRC/IM conversations and other types of 
undocumented, lost wisdom.

Maybe this is true for fallback-only requirement, but it's not true
when conversion/transliteration comes, as conversion must take place
server-side.

An item could have the label only in en and the description only in

Re: [Wikitech-l] Works on annotations

2013-04-28 Thread David Cuenca 
Hi Mathieu, hi James,

There is this GsoC proposal that plans to explore the integration of an
annotation system in Mediawiki:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Rjain/Proposal-Prototyping-inline-comments

The idea is to see how well and in which ways the OKFN Annotator could be
deployed:
http://okfnlabs.org/annotator/

If successful, it would be very useful for cases like the one you are
suggesting. It could be used to cite texts in Wikisource in a easier way
than now.

[Wikitech-l] Tag extensions in Block mode

2013-04-28 Thread Moritz Schubotz 
Hi,

how can I figure out in a tag extension callback e.g.

function wfSampleRender( $input, array $args, Parser $parser, PPFrame $frame )

if the parser is inside a block mode or not?
With block mode I mean something like
:
or
#
or



but not
blindtext  more text

If there is an extension that uses ways to dermine the "block" a link
would help a lot.

Hello,
  I have proposed a project to WikiMedia through Google Summer of Code
2013 internship program. The project is based on Central Search Engine
having capability to bind all the WikiMedia services till the date and
showing the results of search term on a common place with best possible
results being searched and sorted.

I have prepared synopsis on what the project is and how it is going to be
dealt. Its a tentative schedule so pardon any amateurish behavior I might
have reflected.

The link for the official proposal is :
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/code_sid/1

The link for my mediawiki user page is :

The link for bugzilla report is :
