I know Andre through the GNOME community, where he is Bugzilla maintainer and bugsquad member, member of the Release Team, member of the Translation Project Coordination team, member of the Czech GNOME translation teams, and author maintainer of the GNOME Evolution user documentation. And he organized and ran GNOME's part in Google Code-In 2010/11 and 2011/12, so he might have opinions on whether Wikimedia should participate this year. Remember Maemo?

Yes, it is functional now, but we need to do a bit of hacking to support our proposed UX improvements, as well as make it more consistent with WMF JavaScript guidelines. If someone wants to improve the signup template in core, that would be excellent - but since our team needs to move quickly, we're likely going to just going to make our own fork of the extension and display the proposed template for users in a small experimental bucket.

However, this workflow is not required. The problem is that the LoginForm class is old and run-down, and we shouldn't really be basing code off of it. A better way to go about it would be to make use of the newer MW infrastructures like FormSpecialPage and Status to make a cleaner implementation. The account creation API currently in Gerrit is actually a bit of a hack (as is the Login API and many other similar modules) because of the fact that there is not a good separation between application logic and UI in many core features of MW.

Re: [Wikitech-l] How to create account by API?
The SignupAPI I developed indeed takes care of everything required and was truly developed to cater to such requirements. It would not be a good idea to rework the same. A lot of brainstorming and architectural discussions were already done while developing this project it received input on several different aspects from the community. I really think that instead of developing something new, Extension:SignupAPI should be given a chance for deployment because it solves several requirements including the tracking of what events are most effective in creating accounts and then having the ability to suggest suitable exit activities. Also, the UI was totally revamped to make it visually appealing. Client side validations for user input have also been implemented including the ability to alert user if his desired username has already been taken while he enters it on the signup form. The extension also does a lot of refactoring of the existing SpecialLoginPage by taking out the account creation logic from it and then putting it in its own API. The extension has also received extensive testing by several developers including Santhosh who tested it out with internationalized usernames suggested relevant bugs which I fixed. Some things came up and I didn't get back to working on SignupAPI, but I'm really keen on helping now wish to work towards deploying the extension. I need a mentor to help me through the process because it seems that many parts of the development process have significantly changed.
