Have you run this by Wikipedians? (I'm assuming enwikipedia would be your target audience). I would recommend making sure that enwikipedia is politically ok with this first, since it involves adding a bunch of templates to articles, as it would suck for a gsoc student if their work wasn't used due to politics happening at the end. >Prepare a table of each word in article dumps indicating its age. This in itself is a non-trivial problem (for a gsoc student anyways), assuming you need it for the entire enwikipedia, and you need it up to date as soon as people edit. Even getting the student sufficient storage and CPU resources to actually compute that could potentially be difficult (maybe?) >Convert flagged passages to GIFT questions for review and present them to one >or more subscribed reviewers Wouldn't you want to give the reviewers an actual form where they can fill out the questions, not something in a markup language (Unless you mean you want them to store it in that form internally,which seems like a rather minor implementation detail) --bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
