--- Comment #55 from Project LibX <[email protected]> 2012-11-16 21:26:52 UTC --- I'm familiar with Lua (the programming language), and googling Scribunto leads to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto which, upon 10 second inspection, doesn't explain how you'll be providing metadata. My use of the acronym 'AJAX' was referring to the asynchronous nature any service would need to have to avoid holding up the rendering of the page, which seemed to be your main concern. In other words, the page would be rendered and sent to the user without metadata, just containing a quickly-generated key for each item. Only when the user accesses it, such as by hovering over an item, would a separate service be accessed that provides the metadata in usable form. You can see this technique in action in many webpages, and it's not a hack at all. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
