Hey Everyone, I am an active contributer to Wikiversity (German and English). Over the years we realized that Mediawiki is not really providing everything a student and teacher needs in the classroom. Therefor Sebastian Schlicht and me have created a bunch of javascript, Lua modules and templates in order to pimp the user interface and some processes on the english wikiversity.
A community poll has showed that our scripts should have been moved to common.js https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity_talk:MOOC_Interface#Support The improvements can be seen live in this course: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Web_Science/Part1:_Foundations_of_the_web/Internet_Protocol/Classful_IPv4_networks Over the time we have realised that it would be better to create a standalone Mediawiki extension since this is more stable. So we propsed our Idea to this years fOERder award which gave us some founding for this OER (Open educational resources) related project. Today Sebastian and I started our process. * We have been installing vagrant and have a mediawiki running locally! This is great and was well documented. * I have created: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MOOC * We need a gerrit Project extension/MOOC * We need a vagrent role for this Abraham Taherivand suggested to send a mail to this list with our needs and our introduction. Being new in the Wikimedia world it can be a little bit confusing - even though everything is well documented - so I am sorry if we had overseen something in the documentation. So we would be really happy for support, pointers and hints and especially for a gerrit project and a vagrent role. My username in gerrit as in other wikis is renepick Best regards Sebastian Schlicht and Rene Pickhardt -- -- www.rene-pickhardt.de <http://www.beijing-china-blog.com/> Skype: rene.pickhardt mobile: +49 (0)176 5762 3618 office: +49 (0) 261 / 287 2765 fax: +49 (0) 261 / 287 100 2765 _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
