Re: [Wikitech-l] Google Code-in: are you in?
Hi, I am very keen to help the Code-ins. I have posted a quite general task on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-In#Code. Shall I split the task to smaller ones (similar to the size as annoying_little_bugs) and define them before 28 October? I was GSoC 2013 participant and work on [bug 43058] VisualEditor Math. I think this is a perfect chance for GSoCers. It will help us to review our work as well as furthering the development.

[Wikitech-l] VisualEditor - Paste Displayed Text UI
Hi I am trying to fix bug 48489 - Can not paste new link anchor for VisualEditor. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48489 I have been able to add the functionality to the link inspector to edit the displayed text. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/64055/ I have not worked on the appearance of the interface.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Git for idiots
I am new to gerrit for mediawiki. It really took me a long time to make it work, while there is nothing wrong in the instructions. Sometimes I solved the problems I encountered by simple methods like restart, update. I feel less instruction manuals with more detailed information would help. Also, it would be nice if there is a trouble shooting page, everyone can add the problem under the corresponding category in the page. On Sat, May 11, 2013 at 8:34 AM, Marc A.

[Wikitech-l] GSoC/OPW Proposal Updates: VisualEditor Mathematical Equation Plugin
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! jiabao ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Hi Quim,
Thank you for your reminder. Does this mean that the applicants have one
more day, or half a hour? ... Sorry I always feel pretty confused about
this...

Hi,
The deadline for submissions to the FOSS Outreach Program for Women is
*** 19:00pm UTC on May 1, 2013 ***
You must send your application to opw-list{}gnome.org before the
deadline. No exceptions!
https://live.gnome.org/**OutreachProgramForWomen#Send_**in_an_Applicationhttps://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen#Send_in_an_Application
You can keep improving your proposal in your project wiki page after the
deadline. It is ok if you haven't completed your mandatory contribution
yet. It is also ok if you don't have two co-mentors confirmed yet.
Also remember: http://lists.wikimedia.org/**pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-**
April/068842.htmlhttp://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-April/068842.html
If you hesitate, just apply. You will have more days to ask questions and
improve your proposal.
After applying you can add yourself to https://www.mediawiki.org/**
wiki/Outreach_Program_for_**Women#Candidateshttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates
What happens after submitting your OPW proposal:
* If you are also applying to GSoC then focus on GSoC. The first
evaluation will be done in that context following the GSoC process and
without any gender specific considerations.
* If your proposal is strictly for OPW then we will start evaluating it
and we might come back to you with questions.
The official announcement of accepted interns will be done by the OPW
program on May 27: https://live.gnome.org/**OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/*
*JuneSeptember#Schedulehttps://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/JuneSeptember#Schedule
However, we might confirm some or all the Wikimedia interns by May 10. It
will partially depend on the GSoC selection process.
Good luck to everybody!

See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.**org/show_bug.cgi?id=43058https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43058- we know the situation isn't ideal (and not even well documented) but James Forrester (VisualEditor product manager and volunteer mentor) can help pointing to possible directions. An alternative idea is to leave VisualEditor aside and work on features to improve the current Math support. You should take into consideration how equations are currently rendered in MediaWiki by default with the Math extension and with the opt-in MathJax support. Coincidentally, today we had lunch with James Forrester (VisualEditor product manager) and a member of the MathJax team, and the interest shown by a student (you) came to the conversation. We might get him as co-mentor from MathJax if your present a proposal and it's selected. But there is a lot of definition work that needs to be done and there are not many days left. In addition to this, OPW requires a small contribution related to your proposal. I'm not the best person to recommend a small task in this area, but there is no lack of open Bugzilla reports under the Math extension... https://bugzilla.wikimedia.**org/buglist.cgi?list_id=** 197627resolution=---query_**format=advancedcomponent=** Mathproduct=MediaWiki%**20extensionshttps://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=197627resolution=---query_format=advancedcomponent=Mathproduct=MediaWiki%20extensions These are common and useful functions, what are your opinions on the value of this proposal to mediawiki?

[Wikitech-l] GSoC and OPW Participation
Hi, I am Jiabao Wu, 1st year postgraduate student in Australian National University. At the end of last year, I graduated in B.IT in ANU with double major of Software Development and IT in New Media Arts. I am currently studying a course of free and opensource software development. This has boosted my passion to contribute to the FOSS community. I am going to apply GSoC and OPW. In the mean time, I would like to contribute to MediaWiki. I have finished landing instructions and installed mediawiki-vagrant. Could you give me some suggestions what I shall do next? For GSoC and OPW, I am interested in the following project ideas. - VisualEditor plugins - Proofread Page extension needs to be refactored - Prototyping inline comments - Bugzilla-MediaWiki extension - Allowing 3rd party wiki editors to run more CSS features They all look fun and within my ability to me. But not sure which one shall I actually pick... May I pick more than one when I apply? Any suggestions in picking the projects? Thanks a lot for reading.
