Commit access requests



This page serves as a central location for users to request commit access to SVN. Please note that just because you've listed your name here doesn't mean that you'll get access. Final approval for access still lies with Brion and Tim.

Request format
Copy and paste the following text to the bottom of the list. Of course you can add extra information you think is relevant, but try to keep it simple and to the point.

=== User name === * Requested commit name: abcd * Expected area to work in: extensions, localization, etc * link to public key * Past work on MediaWiki - patches, extensions, bug reports, etc * Past programming experience - other open source projects, etc. ~ (signature with date)

You must have an email address registered in your mediawiki.org preferences before your request will be approved.

Completed requests
Generally when requests are completed, an announcement e-mail is sent to wikitech-l and the Developers page is updated.

Kanor

 * Requested commit name: kanor
 * Expected area to work in: I have updated the extension Extension:Link Suggest to implement some requests made in Extension:Link Suggest. The new version is working in my site: Subtrama.net. It also triggers with Ctrl+Enter, which, combined with arrows to move along results and Enter to select, should provide fast keyboard-driven link insert.
 * My public Key
 * Past work on MediaWiki - none, besides editing Wikipedia :)
 * Past programming experience - Worked for the Psi project some time ago. (Patches published as Fran Rodríguez / Francisco Joaquín Rodríguez Prados) Besides that, experience programming in C++/PHP/Java/Javascript in my Bachelor/MSc/PhD

I'm also thinking about further development on an extension automatically detecting previously linked text, and adding them in a post-processing server stage. However the idea I currently have is just to create a tree with all the existing links in the database and create a small FSM to perform a look ahead parsing. Which is, I'm afraid, not very scalable for a wiki containing +3M links, just counting the internal pages ^^

After talking with Roan Kattow in the IRC I just realized the new usability initiative has a link suggest thing. However it is slightly different from what I'm coding, since my extension is supposed to be triggered with a keyboard sequence, not mouse-driven.
