[Wikitech-l] request for help: JS userscript that uses MW edit API
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#The_Wikipedia_Adventure.2C_Help_Wanted:_an_automatic_edit_button_script Jake (User:Ocaasi) needs some help and has written up a spec -- I include part of it here: Background: The Wikipedia Adventure (TWA) is an onboarding game--a guided tour to teach new editors how to contribute to Wikipedia. In the game players are invited to help out at a hypothetical article (Earth), and along the way they learn skills while interacting with simulated peers. Goal: Make TWA players feel like they are actually receiving messages from other editors, when in fact they are just sending messages to themselves. Method: Use the Mediawiki Edit API. Have a button (or a link) on a Wikipedia subpage of Wikipedia:TWA/ use the API to add target text to a target page. Because different messages are received at different points in the game, the ability to customize the target text and target page is critical. Implementation: Build a JavaScript userscript stored in the user’s common.js page. The beta-version of the game will later deliver this script as a gadget (set in user preferences, turned on by default, and only active from the Wikipedia:TWA/ subspace). There's more at the Village Pump page.

[Wikitech-l] Adding to the skin toolbox
I am using the Vector skin. I have an extension very similar to whatlinkshere. It needs to take the current page as the parameter just like whatlinkshere. I would like to add it to the toolbox, but actually I do not care where it is in the navigation but the toolbox seems the most logical. We have done this before with other older skins that had something like this section: div id=gumax-special-tools I noticed that getToolBox() is within BaseTemplate.

BaseTemplateToolbox is the cleanest hook to use. There's also SkinTemplateToolboxEnd which is hideous but existed before BaseTemplate.

[Wikitech-l] Announcement: C. Scott Ananian joins Wikimedia as Senior Features Engineer
Hello everyone, It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that C. Scott Ananian[1] has joined the Wikimedia Foundation as a Features Engineer. Before joining us, Scott was Director of New Technologies at One Laptop per Child where he, among other things, worked on Nell, a platform to allow unsupervised learning of early literacy skills on tablets used in places like Ethiopia[2], and the OLPC security mechanism to prevent kids’ laptops from being stolen in transit. In between stints at OLPC, he worked as the Senior Architect at litl, LLC[3]. Clearly he has a thing for highly mobile PCs and applications (don’t tell Tomasz, he already stole Kaldari from Features :-P). He started volunteering work on the MediaWiki parser project (Parsoid) on February 12th and got his first patch merged on February 15th. He’s had over 150 patches merged since then so it made sense that we should probably hire him ;-) As you probably guessed with my usual tardiness, his first official day was actually Monday, July 8. He is going to continue his work on the Parsoid team with Gabriel Wicke and Subbu Sastry. He is super-motivated and has been mission-aligned since before Wikipedia existed[4], so I expect you’ll see him range far from our text infrastructure work. When he was at OLPC he liked to say his job was to “build robust and reliable systems to allow kids to discover, share, and learn.” Scott lives and works in Cambridge, MA[5]. He is a square dancer[6] and theatrical lighting designer. I have it on good word that he’s a demon on MIT Mystery Hunt [7]—not sure if he’s on the same team as our Board Members or not [8], but if not… Please join me in welcoming C. Scott to the Wikimedia Foundation. :-) Take care, Terry [1]: [[User:Cananian]] [2]: http://www.dvice.com/archives/2012/10/ethiopian_kids.php [3]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litl [4]: http://www.salon.com/2000/02/09/linuxdvd/ [5]:tewwy: interested in relocating? :-) cscott: no, sorry. cscott: wife, kid, and house like where they are. ;-) [6]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge_square_dance ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tech_Squares [7]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Mystery_Hunt [8]: [[User:Sj]] did, in fact, recruit him to the Codex team in 2009.

[Wikitech-l] Project idea
Chromebooks have in just the past eight months snagged 20 percent to 25 percent of the U.S. market for laptops that cost less than $300...[1] I have no idea how many pageviews we get coming from ChromeOS devices, and I suspect it's hard to differentiate from regular Chrome visits on other systems? Anyway, sales trends clearly suggest they are becoming more of a niche to pay attention to. It might be nice to have an official Wikipedia Chrome app. There are a few in the Web Store now,[2] but they're not great. For Chrome OS users, the main advantages of having an app, even if all it does is redirect to the website, is the ability to add it to your Chrome homescreen and the dock. This is probably not such a big market that the Foundation would spend any money developing for it, but I think it's probably not hard, and anyway Google building an OS with the Web as its backbone is kind of cool. 1. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-07-10/google-chromebook-under-300-defies-pc-market-with-growth.html Steven ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
