Re: [Wikitech-l] GSoC and OPW Participation
Hello, Thanks for your friendly replies. I am interested in the awesome Visual Editor and would like to take the plugins project idea. I would like to focus on adding support for editing equations and also insertion of images. These are common and useful functions, what are your opinions on the value of this proposal to mediawiki? Google docs handles these two quite nicely with their editor. Though we can't see the language they represent it with I would like to accomplish something similar for visual editor.

Richa Jain has an in-progress proposal for "Prototyping inline comments" (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Rjain/Gsoc-Prototyping-inline-comments). I have offered to mentor this project.

I have finished "landing instructions" and installed mediawiki-vagrant. Could you give me some suggestions what I shall do next? I would focus on preparing a good GSoC/OPW project proposal supported by a mentor. If you have some time left then you can start exercising trying to fix annoying little bugs in the area of your project proposal: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs 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 All these are featured projects so you can't go wrong with any of them. 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? It is your choice. Maybe the mentors of these projects can help you deciding? As far as I'm aware, so far nobody has presented proposals about any of these areas.
