Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- I'm not really sure bugzilla is the best venue for feedback on vauge project ideas - bugs should have (a single) well defined problem and what not. Brainstorming and implementation advice feedback is probably better suited to a mailing list or even on wiki (depending on context maybe even an rfc). (This is just my opinion which others probably dont share. I know there are a lot of things saying file bugs for mentorship project) As for comment 0 - lightbox: seems to be treading the same path as multimedia viewer project. Make sure you are not duplicating efforts. Root Category pages: that's somewhat dangerous territory performance wise (e.g. flatening an entire category tree dynamically to infinite depth is out of the question unless you have some fancy way of making it efficient that is beyond me.). I believe improvements can be made in this area if one is clever about it, but this is the type of thing you have to have a solid plan for that can be carefully evaluated before embarking on it. In particular the performance should be analysed analytically for worst case scenario. 1000 images is very far away from the scale we have to work with and wouldn't mean much. For filtering - one possible idea in that area (if you ignore the category flattening aspect) is sorting category by different criteria (e.g. file size). A while ago I did something related to that in a prototype of image rating (combined with liangent's category work) the approach there gets less efficient the more sorting types you add, but if you have a reasonable number its probably fine efficiency wise. (See the sorting method button on http://tools.wmflabs.org/bawolff/whichisbetter/index.php?title=Category:Images ) Making an extension that allows sorting images by various different criteria could make a good mentorship project. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
