[edit] Project completion

GSoC project completion.png
Year Total Completed & useable Used by WMF
2006 2 1 0.5*
2007 1 0 0
2008 2 0 0
2009 4 2 1**
2010 6 4*** 1.5***
2011 8  ??  ??

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.
