By we I meant MediaWiki developers. And by aren't really interested in, I should clarify that I'd like for us to remove from the page ideas that people do not want incorporated into MediaWiki in any way -- core, extensions, scripts/utilities/gadgets, etc. If you look at an idea and think, even if this were well-implemented I wouldn't want us to merge it in, please remove it. I also want us to remove ideas that students could not possibly reasonably do in a summer, or that another developer is already half-done implementing (and doesn't want a student developer's help with it). If anyanything they should be striked though (delwhatever/del) so people can still see that they were there and left a note as to why they were bad OK! I figured people would leave their reasons for deletion in the Summary line as they revised the page, but strikethrough works too. -Sumana ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
[Wikitech-l] Deleting bad ideas off Google Summer of Code suggestion page
There's no point in having our GSoC applicants wasting time working on proposals that we aren't really interested in, that another developer is already half-done implementing, or that are just plain bad ideas. So please take a look at the project ideas page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2011#Project_ideas and help me get rid of anything that wouldn't be a good student project. If you could take a moment to skim the page and do this tomorrow or over the weekend, that would be great -- I've already had to redirect a few students once #mediawiki folks let me know that their first-choice project ideas were bad.
