Some of these probably aren't really that suitable: > After this filtering, we seem to be left with: >
> * An easy way to share wiki content on social media services I don't think this is a good idea unless the political climate on wikipedia has changed (we want the gsocer to stay. Flame wars are probably not conducive to that) > * Write an extension to support XML Sitemaps without using command line Meh, maybe. Rather low impact. Very few people fall into the use case, its debatable how much a sitemap would even help with seo. Its also not the easiest thing to do to make mw work on a schedule, especially if the task needs to be accomplished a little at a time. > * Extension:OEmbedProvider Would be concerned that its not likely for the student to see their work used (deployed) after a single summer of work unless it was mentored by someone who would have the ability to deploy the extension themselves. That's obviously not a requirement and someone could do a lot of good work in the direction of making it useful, but something to keep in mind. > * Allow smoother and easier Wikimedia Commons pictures discovery This is more - come up with cool ideas (which is needed) rather then an implementation project. Is that ok for a gsoc project? -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
