Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] ContentHandler examples?
After working with the API for a while I had a head-explodes moment when I
realized
that MediaWiki is now a generic framework for collaboratively fashioning
and editing
content objects, and that it provides a generic implementation of a
creative workflow
based on the concepts of versioning, diffing, etc. I think it's a
fucking amazing
model for the web and I hope MediaWiki's code and community is nimble
enough to fully
realize it.
I agree. Wikis can do lots more than create documents, and we've only
started down that road. ContentHandler is a step in this direction, and
our project is as well. I'd love to have conversations about all this.
I'm based in the Bay Area, by the way, even though our project is
based in Canada.
