As an update on the goals process for WMF engineering, we've begun
fleshing out out the top priorities for the first quarter.
This has already been an interesting and useful exercise, I feel. Those
are indeed goals which need help from everyone who can. Which brings me to:
[...]
- The content API that Gabriel is working on (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Content_API ) is
called out as a top priority. This is because the Parsoid output (for
which the content API will be a high performance front-end) is now
getting to the point where it's starting to become plausible to
increasingly use it not just for VisualEditor, but also for views as
well.
This is something I encourage everyone on this list to play with. I
spent a couple days on Parsoid's output for it.wiki and it's been fun,
finding many things to report: while reasonable pages are rarely very
broken, on a random page there is some 50 % chance of finding some
visual glitch.
My favourite toy to this purpose is Kiwix:
* download a recent file for your favourite wiki at
http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/ ,
* download Kiwix to open it http://download.kiwix.org/nightly/bin/latest/ ,
* start pressing "random page" and report surprises e.g. to
https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/bugs/
