Hi there Akshay, I've talked with a few Wikimania folks - and I think there's some interest in this. My impression is our current system is a series of patch jobs done to evolve the original system to our growing needs. A complete rewrite seems fitting, from what I've seen and heard.
I'm curious if you've had a chance to speak with Wikimania folks as well - especially the ops folks doing the web forms and such. I imagine they'd have a wealth of opinions on what has worked and what wasn't worked thus far. I would also be curious what some Hackathon and other event organizers might have to say. Ideally doing a rewrite will include all the various needs (well - as many as reasonably possible..) from these folks so more more patchwork would need to be done in the foreseeable future. Here's the IRC channel for Wikimania and other contact info: http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Organizing_team -greg aka varnent On Apr 3, 2012, at 10:17 AM, akshay chugh <chughaksha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Max, > I have taken your points into consideration, and have made changes to my > proposal.Have also narrowed down the scope as well. > updated proposal : - > www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Chughakshay16/GSOCProposal(2012) >> How are you going to write special pages and API modules before the > database access layer? > honest mistake :)(corrected that in my project schedule) > > Thanks, > Akshay Chugh > (irc- chughakshay16) > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
