I see we're loading the entire core for the YUI into Wikia. I'm wondering, how much of this is going to stick around? I've actually been working on ways to use the YUI and a few other things inside of MediaWiki. (I Got YUI Animated Tabs working, and EditArea's Syntax Highlighting enabled editor to work via Userscript only.) It could be nice to use the YAHOO YUI Libs to take the place of some of the existing things such as ShowHide and the cookie's used in some things like my CharInsert hider with cookie persistence.
On the note of editors. What's the status of the plans for WYSIWYG? I looked over WYSIWYG extensions, and the FCKeditor+MediaWiki looks to me like the best done editor. Even if Wikia is going to build it's own WYSIWYG editor for MediaWiki using WikiWYG I'm considering making helping the FCKeditor+MediaWiki project something for Wiki-Tools to do. Other than just the WYSIWYG functions and fixing the bugs like broken diff previews, I'm considering attempting to add a Syntax highlighting mode for WikiText, CSS, JS, and I suppose a few other languages. Looking over Wikia's extensions familiarizing myself with what there is to code. I notice some extensions I'd love to use, and some using tricks I'd never dare use in a thousand years... What are release plans? There are a few that would fit will for me, but the code is all GPL licensed. And last I remember reading the GPL, it let you keep the code to yourself. But if you distributed it you had to freely distribute it to everyone. So I don't believe I could just use some of the extensions. On that note, it would be nice to tag some of those stable extensions with the ExtensionCredits and release them. -- ~Daniel Friesen(Dantman) of The Gaiapedia, Wikia Graphical Entertainment Project, and Wiki-Tools.com _______________________________________________ Wikia-l mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wikia.com/mailman/listinfo/wikia-l
