= Random Fundraising notes =


 * What are WMF's requirements for CiviCRM?
 * Some of the WMF extensions to Drupal and Civi are headed upstream?
 * There are mw extensions as well. Do chapters use these, or just WMF?


 * Chapters use several Civi extensions coded by Holger Motzkau and Manuel Schneider for wmse.
 * Configuring Civi with these extensions is not trivial, automation is in progress
 * There is a backlog of chapters needing Civi orientation.

Offline Projects/Offline Editorship

 * Prototype mw extension: Extension:Offline/Wiki
 * Currently, this extension can more or less efficiently read the .xml.bz2 format. It would be possible to also read OpenZIM (it's best to extend the rendered ZIM format in a similar way to Parsoid, which invisibly embeds wiki-source in the markup, allowing reuse of editor code).
 * non-linear article revisioning
 * Would decouple resolving any nontrivial three-way merge from making the edit itself.
 * Represent revisions as a delta. Allows better asynchronous editing.
 * The new visual editor will likely batch operational transformations, there's yer delta.
 * Deltas would have N=||cross product|| possible combined resolutions, depending on a choice of selection. Article state at any time could be ambiguous, and multiple.
