Beta Features/About/it







Benvenuta/o in Beta Features, un nuovo programma che ti consente di testare nuove funzionalità in WIkipedia ed altri siti di Wikimedia prima che siano rilasciate.

Le funzionalità beta consentono agli sviluppatori di produrre nuovo asoftware in un ambiente in cui molti utenti le possono usare. E' come un laboratorio digitale in cui i membri le modifiche in arrivo e possono aiutare i tecnici ad effettuare miglioramenti basati sui loro suggerimenti.

Prime caratteristiche
Qui ci sono le prime beta funzionalità che iniziaranno ad essere testate questa settimana:


 * Media Viewer: migliora con questo nuovo strumento la tua visualizzazione di oggetti multimediali. Media Viewer visualizza con immagini di dimensione maggiore le miniature presenti nelle pagine. Le immagini sono visualizzate con un più gradevole contornoe possono anche essere viste in dimensione originale. Discuss this feature.


 * Typography Refresh: questa funzionalità beta rende il testo più leggibile ed accessibile. Aggiorna l'interfaccia Vectori usando il font "serif" nelle intestazioni e "sans serif" nel corpo del testo per una migliore leggibilità. Discuss this feature.


 * VisualEditor:VisualEditor makes it easy to edit pages without having to learn wiki code. Beta Features will include an opt-in version of this tool on sites where it is available but not enabled by default. We're also adding new experimental features that enhance VisualEditor (see below). Discuss this feature.


 * VisualEditor Formulæ:With this opt-in feature, you can add support inside VisualEditor for creating and editing mathematical formulæ like algebra or equations on pages you're working on. Discuss this feature.

How you can help
Can you help us test Beta Features in coming days? Our first features are now available for early testing by logged-in users on MediaWiki.org and on TestWiki. ''[Note: Should be deployed on Thu. Oct 31 by 12pm PT, if all goes well]''

To test new features, check the items you want in the new BetaFeatures section of your user preferences — and click 'Save' (see screenshot). You can also automatically enable all new beta features as they are released, if you like — and turn off any of these options anytime. To make it easier for you, a small 'Beta' link will show up next to 'Preferences' in your personal menu when this extension is released worldwide in early November.

Try out Beta Features and let us know what you think of this program in the comments below, or on this discussion page. You can also comment on each feature's discussion page (see links above and on your Beta Features preferences page). If you find any technical bugs, please report them here. Based on your feedback, we plan to release Beta Features on all wikis worldwide on Nov. 7th, 2013.

Beta Features was created by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design team and developed by the Multimedia team, in collaboration with the VisualEditor team. These and other teams will be adding more features every few weeks, going forward. We also invite community developers to start testing their new improvements in Beta Features in coming weeks by working closely with WMF designers and engineers. To prepare a new Beta Feature, read these helpful tips, check this technical documentation and post your submission on the queue for new Beta Features.
