[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #23 from [email protected] --- Hey, My name is Aditya and am interested in pursuing this as my GSOC project. After going through the requirements, leaving apart any additional features required. I have outlined two major aspects of this project. 1) Designing the UI. 2) Designing the database. I just want to present my perspective on these two things before I start drafting my proposal. I want to hear your opinion on this. 1)UI When it comes to designing the UI. I think it will be better if we go with a custom build rather than using a ready-made component, cause MediaWiki uses themes and each component should match the theme and a ready made component leaves very little margin for customization ( in-case its a opensource component, then it might as well be modified, but the person designing the theme need to be not only versed with the code of the MediaWiki but as well as the source code of the component, hence I believe a ready made component would constrain the customizability of MediaWiki. http://adityasastry.in.cp-2.webhostbox.net/index.php?title=Special:BlankPage This is a UI mockup I came up with. Its a prototype for a prototype :P I have made an implementation of this for VECTOR theme, but I have placed the CSS and JS for this in the common skins shared.css and the JS in vector.js as of for now. Implementing this for some other theme is very easy. We just need to add a DIV in the theme's php file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
