Hi guys, My name is Sagie, I'm a first-year CS and linguistics student at Tel-Aviv University. I'm applying for GSoC this summer and wanted to introduce myself. I actually talked with some of you on #mediawiki last night, under the handle "n0nick".
I've been a professional web developer for 6 years, mostly done PHP work. I'm fairly familiar with web & wiki frameworks in general, and have had some (short) experience with MediaWiki. I'd like to read your thoughts on the following projects I had my eyes on: * Inline Editing extension for MW/SMW Sounds like a very interesting and useful project to work on, and seems to me it fits the timeframe. I saw that there's been a lot of work done already for this task by user janpaul123, and was wondering what's the status of this project and how I can help with making this a possible GSoC project. * Sidebar/toolbar customization GUI I understand there's overhaul work being done on element skin systems, but I talked with Dantman about the sidebar customization and from what I understand, it's possible to take this project as long as my work is abstract (and good) enough. Anyone has other thoughts on this? Should I perhaps avoid working on something that might interfere with current developers work? * Email notifications Again, I see in the wiki page that some work has been done on this, and testing and bugfixing is required. Do you think it could be a suitable summer project? Would love to hear your thoughts.
