Hi, Rohan. Thanks for your proposal and for sending a link to this list. I enjoyed reading it (you are refreshingly candid and you mentioned cake), but I have some questions you ought to address in the proposal. "This project will also benefit Wikimedia projects that also use a Moodle instance." As far as I know, there are no Wikimedia projects that also make use of Moodle; did you perhaps mean MediaWiki instances? See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikipmediawiki for some key terms. Would one MediaWiki installation only be able to reference or transclude information from a single Moodle instance, or several? What kind of documentation would you write? A user help manual? A walkthrough of your code architecture for use by future developers? Automated browser tests? A video tutorial? Jan Luca is your primary mentor; who is your second mentor? These people will do a lot of the code review. Are you planning on writing unit tests as you write the code? If so, please mention that in the schedule. Where will your test installation be? Wikimedia Labs might be suitable; check to see whether it would work for your purposes. It would definitely help your application if you got a developer access account and started fixing a small bug or two in MediaWiki. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45382 would be a reasonable one to start with. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker should get you started.
