Hello Sumana Thank you for your feedback I have updated my proposal on my user page.

I meant moodle instances I have tried to make this clearer in the synopsis >Would one MediaWiki installation only be able to reference or transclude >information from a single Moodle instance, or several? If I have time during this project to robustly implement the prefix system specified in the extension deliverables it will be able to gather information from several Moodle instances. I updated this in the synopsis >What kind of documentation would you write? A user help manual? A >walkthrough of your code architecture for use by future developers? >Automated browser tests? A video tutorial? I was thinking to make the extension page describing what the plugin does, how to use it, the current stage of development. I also want to document each function and file for future development. Updated in timeline >Jan Luca is your primary mentor; who is your second mentor? These >people will do a lot of the code review. Sorry I didn't know I needed two mentors how can I find another for this project? >Are you planning on writing unit tests as you write the code? If so, >please mention that in the schedule. I was planning to do this yes mostly for the moodle tag arguments and webservices calls. Updated in Timeline >Where will your test installation be? Wikimedia Labs might be suitable; >check to see whether it would work for your purposes. Jan luca set up a Wiki Labs for this project the installation will be there. Updated in Timeline Thanks again it really helped.
