[14:30:53] hey roan [14:31:00] Hey Hannes [14:31:24] did u follow this wp is unfriendly to newbees debate? [14:31:36] Which one is that? [14:31:52] naoko wrote a mail about a blogpost first [14:32:01] tthan I reported from the German WP [14:32:31] Oh right the Limbo namespace thing [14:32:37] there was a new idea [14:33:12] we could use a dialog (like our insert dialogs) for "new author new article" [14:33:39] to give rules etc. a more prominent place [14:33:54] OK so basically it's some sort of an article creation wizard? [14:33:54] u used jquery for that, right? [14:33:58] YES [14:34:07] Yes we use jQuery dialogs for that [14:34:16] that would be like the deluxe solution [14:34:42] a small variant could just popup to show the rules etc [14:35:00] but an article wizard would be very good [14:35:05] Well the thing is all these rules are wiki-specific, so anything that uses or highlights them would be done in MediaWiki:Common.js [14:35:06] how much work would that be? [14:35:13] Not too much I guess [14:35:23] I could write a gadget for it [14:35:34] If Naoko will let me :P [14:35:45] yeah [14:35:57] u got plenty of other stuff to do i guess [14:36:03] Indeed [14:36:12] but no thanksgiving, huh? [14:36:54] Not over here, no :P but I had to take some time off anyway, I have a limit on my 2009 income [14:37:06] yeah me too [14:37:25] If I go over I have to pay back like 3600ish euros in student support [14:37:32] but if my hardware keeps acting crazy I won t have a problem with that [14:37:44] wow- that s hard [14:37:56] ha [14:39:58] So basically you'd have to ask Naoko if she wants to devote resources (i.e. my or Trevor's time) to this, and her answer will probably be "not right now" [14:57:52] i thin u are right [14:59:07] That doesn't mean it'll never happen of course, but we're busy people :)
