Hi,
I am Nikunj Gupta <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mecyborg>from
The LNM Institute of Information Technology, India and I am interested in
working for the project "catalogue for mediawiki extensions"as a GSoC 2014
candidate and I have drafted a proposal for the project.
There are currently about 2000 extensions available on
MediaWiki.org<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_Matrix>.
However, it is hard to identify and assess which extension fits a
particular need. Moreover, it is not clear which version of the extension
to take for a particular MediaWiki version. And we need to find the most
popular or most frequently downloaded extensions, we have to go to a third
party site like WikiApiary <https://wikiapiary.com> which currently handles
the extensions database.
There is a lot of scope for improvement and creative ideas. The current
plan is to implement a rating system on WikiApiary
<http://wikiapiary.org>and syndicate the data to
MediaWiki.org.
*Please provide feedback and suggestions to my proposal. Thanks.*
