3. Guided Tours See the long discussion we had some time ago at http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-April/068166.html > If this idea is good then it may become GSOC project. It is an interesting project for a newcomer, yes. However, regardless of the technical approach it requires more copy writing and design than coding. I don't think it qualifies as a GSoC project, but it could be an OPW candidate, especially if we include polishing the landing pages we point to with such tool/site. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
