Hi Sagie, Thanks for your interest in "Inline Editing extension for MW/SMW".
I'd say the status is a set of great but independent efforts dealing with parts of the actual goal we have in mind: 1) Inline editing of text in MediaWiki (MW) 2) Inline editing of markup, from simple bold text and links up to categories and templates, in MW 3) Inline editing of properties-value-pairs (and other SMW related markup), in Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) 4) Inline editing of results of Inline Queries, in SMW Some work is being done for 1) and 2) in [1]. It looks pretty good, but seems to be a research project, mainly; I am not sure about this project's ambition to have a productive extension, eventually. For 3) there is a demo by Vulcan Inc. [2]. For 4) there has been work done by Ontoprise (for a demo login to [3] and put in [4]). Also, there is AlohaEditor [5], which I have not fully tried, yet, but also seems to provide good opportunities for Inline Editing. They even have a semantic plugin, that allows to automatically create property-value-pairs for a given text (great opportunities, there, also). I think, GSoC 2011 could be a great opportunity to consolidate these efforts, resulting in a working and published extension. This could make MediaWiki/SMW even more broadly-used among non-technicians.

I'm applying for GSoC this summer and wanted to introduce myself. I actually talked with some of you on #mediawiki last night, under the handle "n0nick". I've been a professional web developer for 6 years, mostly done PHP work. I'm fairly familiar with web & wiki frameworks in general, and have had some (short) experience with MediaWiki. I'd like to read your thoughts on the following projects I had my eyes on: * Inline Editing extension for MW/SMW Sounds like a very interesting and useful project to work on, and seems to me it fits the timeframe. I saw that there's been a lot of work done already for this task by user janpaul123, and was wondering what's the status of this project and how I can help with making this a possible GSoC project. * Sidebar/toolbar customization GUI I understand there's overhaul work being done on element skin systems, but I talked with Dantman about the sidebar customization and from what I understand, it's possible to take this project as long as my work is abstract (and good) enough. Anyone has other thoughts on this? Should I perhaps avoid working on something that might interfere with current developers work? * Email notifications Again, I see in the wiki page that some work has been done on this, and testing and bugfixing is required. Do you think it could be a suitable summer project? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks, -- Your friend in time, Sagie Maoz sa...@maoz.info // +1 (347) 556.5044 // +972 (52) 834-3339 http://sagie.maoz.info/ http://n0nick.net/ /* simba says roar! */ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
