SmoothGallery
Hi, are there any examples of how Extension:SmoothGallery looks and works? It would be cool if you could link to a test/example page for this extension. Thanks --128.250.80.15 01:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I wish I had a publicly available test site. I may look into getting one. The SmoothGallery site has examples of SmoothGallery in action, but nothing that is user modifiable like this extension allows. --Ryan lane 21:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I have one now. It is at my sandbox. --Ryan lane 06:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Memorize
Hi, Ryan.

I've added references to your memorize extension to Wikiversity's quiz project. We're mainly centered around the quiz extension at the moment, but the quiz extension isn't really designed to do pair matching, and your memorize extension looks excellent (the matching mode is great).

Perhaps you could join the quiz project and tell us a bit about how your extension is developing. What stage is it at? Might it be implemented on Wikiversity? Have you got people giving you feedback about it?

Cheers,

 * Hello,


 * The memorize extension is a really simple extension. It essentially just adds a parser extension tag, and adds the Memorizable javascript into the headers. People can create regular tables, and add the tag into the table headers. Most of the real development work is over at Memorizable. I believe the license on the javascript would be compatible with the Wikiversity project, and the license on the extension is GPL. If it is added to Wikiversity, I'd be happy to offer any further development necessary.


 * The extension is currently stable. The only change really needed is to make the javascript only output when the extension is actually in use on a page (which is an easy fix).


 * It would be nice if the javascript could handle more than two columns of data, and I may add support for that in the future (if memorizable will accept patches that is). --Ryan lane 13:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Ryan. I see that the JS file is released under an "X11 (aka MIT) open source license". Is this compatible with Wikimedia projects? Do you have any contact with the copyright holder of the JS file? McCormack 04:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Suggested changes before moving to Wikiversity...
 * It should be able to start in "matching mode".
 * It should be possible to remove the choice between modes.
 * It should be possible not to have the options. (Optional options)
