Or, you can use the actually libre as in free speech solution: use Vagrant's docker.io provisioner [0] and integrate it with OpenStack [1] so that you can basically deploy your vagrant instances into Labs.

It's in very early beta, but I have started poking around a little, and it looks interesting. I don't quite know yet how it will work with our extensive custom plugin architecture, but I suspect that this is not an insurmountable problem. Hashicorp is also committed to a freemium model that makes the software stack free (as in speech) and the basic tier of cloud services free (as in beer), so it may be possible for us to have tighter integration with their service without compromising our values.

Re: [Wikitech-l] GSoC'14 Proposal
Hi Pratik, Yes, I am considering that wiki-text changes continuously. The tool I am currently working on or rather say testing consists the highlighting part only. Exporting can be done using a wikipedia profile system and showing the topic by topic highlighted points all at one place. By Making notes I meant, making underlined/highlighted (important points) notes in a similar way just like we do on out text-books. Because most of students are accustomed to that practice of underlining/highlighting the important points on their notebooks, it becomes difficult and uncomfortable for them to read form wikipedia while feeling the same. hence it will help them feel the same way as they do whle reading hard copies of the noebooks/text-books.

Re: [Wikitech-l] GSoC'14 Proposal
One quick question, If the user highlighted two consecutive sentences, and if in the future, another couple of sentences are added in between them like *sentence1*new sentences*sentence2*, then will the new sentences be highlighted as well? How will you store what has been highlighted and how will you recover it back? This I believe, is a very important case to consider.

Re: [Wikitech-l] GSoC'14 Proposal
Hi Sahil, I am the one who is working on the project that Nemo is suggesting, and yes,the ideas of your project is the one of the many things many things my project aims at. Once pundit is activated on a page it shows all the annotations made by the previous users so more importantly showing all the notes made by the users. For example see the demo by Pundit: http://release-bot.thepund.it/build/examples/authors_index.html Just login and see how the users annotate the text and how it is saved my project aims at more then it to centralize it to wikidata. You can see the test cases at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Apsdehal/GSoC2014_Proposal This project aims at collabrating and sharing data with the world's largest data pool that is wikidata, so covering your idea as a subset of it.

For GSoC, I'm interested in working on the project,* MassMessage page input list improvements*. This project is aimed at improving the MassMessage frontend and backend by implementing ContentHandlers, JSON, JS, etc. Basically this project would alter the way target lists are created (JSON page lists instead of wikitext page list) and also brings a lot of changes to UI of MassMessage.
