Notes:
- * Although LQT is used by several WMF wikis, it is still not ready for full-scale production use and it took a lot of effort to improve it even to this state.
- ** Although Extension:Translate is not used on WMF wikis, its use on Translatewiki is absoultely crucial for us.
- *** Gave 0.5 points to interwiki transclusion in the completed column - still not merged into trunk. Gave 0.5 points to WS legal tool for both completion and use - although it was done, it's merely a bot and not a part of MW proper or extension; also its impact for WMF projects in general was pretty small. I understand that this might be highly subjective, but such is my opinion.
[edit] Reasons of failures
- 2006
- Video display: too ancient, nobody knows.
- 2007
- Audio/video file recoding: not finished.
- 2008
- WebDAV: not finished(?), doubtful usefulness from the beginning.
- Visual Diff: lack of mentor's time?
- 2009
- MwEmbed: not finished.
- Image rendering daemon: not co-ordinated with WMF ops, lack of interest from mentor.
- 2010
- Extension management platform: not co-ordinated with WMF ops, too hard for GSoC.
