Hi,
Its been a wonderful time working on SemanticMediaWiki this summer
as part of my Google Summer of Code project GreenSMW.
While most of the planned milestones have been reached, I am still working
on more improvements to SMW after GSoC. I have a written a self-evaluation
of my project [1]
SMW 1.8 is likely to be released soon with all my work :)
Congratulations!
I can only +1 this. Nischay's work includes some great improvements,
both in terms of new features and better performance, and in terms of
cleaned up code that will reduce the cost of future improvements. The
whole project was (is) very open, touching large amounts of legacy code
that many developers were rather afraid of. It required a lot of skill
and energy to get behind all this to accomplish real progress. The
outcomes exceed our expectations, with some completely new features
being in reach (especially an efficient diff computation that happens
when storing data; this could have been a GSoC project on its own).
Right now, there are still some minor things to finish, but we expect to
roll out all of Nischay's GSoC work with the upcoming release (SMW 1.8).
Cheers,
Markus
