Yeah, I think Shivansh didn't look carefully enough at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_Past_Projects when I pointed him there to compare his ideas with other past projects. :-) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_Past_Projects#Signup_API Signup API (Original name: "Account Creation, Login Screens and AJAX-ification of everything"). Goal: Implement the Account creation proposal, which would allow for Ajax-based login. This was implemented as the SignupAPI extension. Status: The SignupAPI extension is currently at "experimental" status. Some of Akshay Agarwal's commits have received code critique and await improvement. Akshay is responding to those critiques and working towards the goal of deploying the extension on WMF wikis. CC'ing Akshay. Akshay, how is that going? -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
