Thread:User talk:Chughakshay16/ConventionExtension/HTMLForm improvements

Hi Akshay! I'm spending some of my extra time working on improvements to the HTMLForm classes in MediaWiki core. I don't know if you have experience with HTMLForm, but it's a pretty cool MW feature that makes it easy to construct MW-friendly and secure web forms. However, it's limited in what it can do and how it outputs forms. Right now, it only outputs forms wrapped in a table and table elements, which is kind of a pain in the butt and IMHO, not very usable. So one of my main goals is to make it so HTMLForm will output forms in a variety of possible formats: table, wrapped in divs, or just raw form elements. I imagine you'll be looking at using HTMLForm for your GSoC project, and just wanted to touch base with you and see what you think, let you know that I'm working on this, and see if there's any space for us to collaborate a bit. I hope all's going well - congrats again on being selected for GSoC :D
