Bug #: 28910
Summary: Alternate module versions for ResourceLoader (A/B
testing, opt-in betas, Gadget testing)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Resource Loader
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
As more UI interaction moves to client-side JavaScript in the future, we have
some nice opportunities to enhance ResourceLoader to make it easier to deliver
alternate versions of particular modules.
This would be hugely useful for Gadget authors, who could create experimental
versions of their gadgets for testing.
For core & extension modules, we could send alternate versions to people who
have opted-in to beta-testing or general A/B testing groups.
For cacheability, the actual load.php requests should still contain all the
necessary information to disambiguate what's being loaded, so possibly we'd
need to export available versions to the JS side, so the loader can pick the
appropriate variant to request.
No super rush on this, it'll need to be considered. :)
