Also share some love back by testing and reporting bugs on bugzilla. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Neil Kandalgaonkar <neilk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 02:57 Subject: [Wikitech-l] Help us test the VisualEditor prototype To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Wikitext-l <wikitext-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Here's the demo, where you can edit some canned texts (but not actual Wikipedia articles, yet): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:VisualEditorSandbox Post bugs here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MediaWiki%20extensions&component=VisualEditor And here's the blog post, which puts it more in context. http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/12/13/help-test-the-first-visual-editor-developer-prototype/ This new editor was mostly written by Trevor Parscal and Inez Korczyński, although lots of others have contributed. I've sat a desk away from them for a few months and I have to say I'm extremely impressed with what they've put together. If you're expecting Google Docs, we're not there yet. But the basics are starting to solidify, and it's getting easier and easier to add cool features. Hey MediaWiki developers, surely you're not going to let Trevor and Inez have *all* the fun? -- Neil Kandalgaonkar (| <neilk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l -- Regards Srikanth.L _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge Kanchilug Blog : http://kanchilug.wordpress.com To subscribe/unsubscribe kanchilug mailing list : http://kanchilug.wordpress.com/join-mailing-list/
