This proposal is listed under Raw projects at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Allow_smoother_and_easier_Wikimedia_Commons_pictures_discovery We are in fact discussing how appropriate it is to feature it but, as you can see at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57805#c6 Mark (MultimediaViewer maintainer) thinks that it might have significant overlap with the work they are planning to do this year. Considering the GSoC deadlines, if there is no progress this week between Mark, Dereckson and others, I'd recommend you to put your bets in another project. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
