Re: [Wikitech-l] GSOC proposal for A system for reviewing funding requests
Hi! [Again the usual detail I share on this... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Application_scoring_system - a formal idea page for it to evolve (idealab is for all ideas, gsoc too, not just grants from wmf) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gryllida/sandbox - a spec (linked there)] I have made style changes to your gallery on the wiki page. Please also note that you may want to be as thorough as possible in your details about past experience. I.e. linking to a nice phpmyadmin bugfix is good, but it may also be a good idea to link to a complete list and perhaps describe the time span over which you were helping that project. I gather there is some merit in conveying all of your relevant past experience in the application. Good luck! Gryllida.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Proposal for GSoC 2014 - Implementing a To-do list
Hi Hareesh, Bookmarking pages, partly with the purpose of leaving notes to self about to-dos, is a long wanted feature. Thank you for considering working on something closely related. To ease your work: Consider adapting https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection for users to use a Special:MyUser/My Bookmarks Collection where they can bookmark pages and put them into sections, such as to translate, to expand, with comments for each. Feedback on text: I don't see what there is about opting in. A to-do should be available, just empty in some cases, if people don't like it. A setting could be an over-complication. Gryllida.

I am interested in the tool's project management and roadmap functionality if any :-) The IRC discussion will be mostly that: a discussion. We'll briefly provide some context about the project management tools review, but we won't be doing a demo or walkthrough of Phabricator. Our goal is to raise awareness about the tools review, to make sure as many people as possible can look at the options, test them and provide feedback. Another goal will be to polish the upcoming RfC that we're drafting. If you'd like to learn more about Phabricator's project management and roadmap functionality, I invite you to test it live on the test instance at http://fab.wmflabs.org/ . Alternatively, you can also peruse http://phabricator.org/ and http://phabricator.org/tour/ . I strongly encourage everyone to do so before the IRC discussion, so we can all have a more informed chat about Phabricator and the other options currently under consideration.

Ultimately, registering .wiki names for Wikimedia wikis might improve accessibility to our wikis and further the concept of wikis in general, but (second-level) domain names aren't free (with few exceptions), so the foundation would have to take it up as an additional cost.
