Re: [Wikitech-l] Feedback for mediawiki api development course on codecademy.
Hi Sumana, In the first exercise when are you getting the error you mentioned. I mean Did you change the String "New York" to "Saint Petersburg" ? Can you tell me the sequence of what you did? Because I am not getting that error. Otherwise try "Reset Code" once. Thanks On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 11:24 PM, Diwanshi Pandey wrote: > Hi Sumana, > > Thanks, for reporting the issue..

Re: [Wikitech-l] Feedback for mediawiki api development course on codecademy.
Hi Alex, Thanks for the feedback. I just checked the code of the exercise you have mentioned. The code is all fine. Codecademy has some buggy exercises too may be its the one and for that I'll report the bug in codecademy. Review the other aspects too.

[Wikitech-l] Feedback for mediawiki api development course on codecademy.
Hello everyone, I am Diwanshi Pandey, an OPW intern. I'd like to have your feedback on the course I have created on codecademy for mediawiki api with help of my mentor Yuri Astrakhan. A little insight: The course is about parsing and querying mediawiki api. Initially we created one course which included 44 exercises but according to codecademy's guidelines their course are for beginners and should have maximum 30 exercises in one course. So we did a split up into two courses: One is Introduction to Wikipedia API<http://www.codecademy.com/courses/web-beginner-en-vj9nh/0/1>and other is Wikipedia:Query API <http://www.codecademy.com/courses/web-beginner-en-yd3lp/0/1>. Also due to api security and restrictions we couldn't implement tutorial on "editing wiki pages through api call" from a non wiki site yet. We are waiting till we find a good and easy way to demo that. Feedback may include: * Are the exercises easy to understand for novice users/developers? * Are changes needed in the look of exercises? * Are there any exercises which need not to be implemented or in too depth? * Any other thing?

[Wikitech-l] FOSS OPW Round 7 Featured Project synopsis:Complete the MediaWiki development course at Codeacademy
Hi Everyone, As an applicant of FOSS-OPW Round 7, I took a deep and profound interest in one of the featured projects "Complete the MediaWiki development course at Codeacademy". I chosen I am planning to focus and contribute to this project. ***Project Synopsis*** The project is about completing the media wiki development course on Code Academy and also enhancing the course. - The Primary goal of the project is to develop instructional materials to teach students to use Wikimedia API. Currently the course shows only rudimentary API usage. What needs to be done is significantly more sections, better explanations and tests/walkthroughs for students to complete. - The secondary goal of the project is that the tutorial does not need to cover all options (there are too many of them), but should get students started with the basic usage scenarios for most of the common tasks API users expect. -Mentor, Yuri Astrakhan -- *Regards,* *Diwanshi Pandey* ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
