Synopsis

Prototyping inline comments (from the ideas page), this would allow users to select a portion of a text and leave inline comments that others and read and reply to.

Because of articles are being changed constantly, we need tags to start a new comment thread. when user clicks on the highlighted text for comments, using AJAX, the comments for that are loaded and the user has the ability to reply or add to the discussion. The comments will be stored in their own table so it doesn’t interfere with the main articles.

ex:

this will replace the text inside as:

Deliverables

Up to June 20: project research/ wireframe mockup

June 21-30: write the code and test the code.

July 1-10: make the necessary fixes, first iteration of the UI.

July 11-21: second Iteration of the UI, Test everything

July 22-31: clean up the code, fixing bugs, writing documentation.

August 1- 7: final fixes, changes, tests.

August 8: pencil down

About Me

My name is Nazmul Chowdhury, i have a passion to understand what makes things tick. this lead me to Computer Science. Currently I am Senior at Hunter College -CUNY, double major in Computer Science and Economics. My interest in web-development sparked in 2011, I started to work on a website idea that would allow you to search for music from tv, movies, etc. and recommend music/artists based on user preferences. I didn’t know anything about web development at that time and learned on the way thanks to stackoverflow and w3schools. I Intern for a startup called VipArt(vipart.com), started out with minor CSS/HTML bug fixing and cross browser compatibility to developing major JavaScript applications for the main site and mobile specific JavaScript applications to take advantages of touch screen capabilities. After my internship I have free-lanced for a bit as a PHP developer, I am currently working as a Research Assistant, developing software aiding research in Bio-Informatics using Java, Hibernate, JSP, and Struts MVC framework. We plan on going open source as soon as our core structure is in working order.

I first stumbled across Wikipedia in 8th grade, when I was doing research for my science project. I have been, addicted to it ever since. Everything I am, is thanks to Wikipedia, it has got me through High School papers and now it’s helping me navigate through College. Wikimedia centralized human knowledge acquired throughout the centuries and continuously growing, and I want to make it better, better for me and better for the entire world.

Participation

I plan to use gitHub to store and version control my code. I am comfortable working under a mentor with electronic communication only. My support structure for codding always has been the stackoverflow community, and the internet in general this is where I will probably first look for help if I am stuck somewhere.

UploadWizard: Book upload customization( from ideas page)
Name: Nazmul Chowdhury

Email: nkchowdh@hunter.cuny.edu or rasel160@gmail.com

Location: Brooklyn, NY, UNITED SATES OF AMERICA

Hours: no constriction on availability (24/7)

Synopsis

(Straight from the ideas page)This project can be deployed either as modification to the UploadWizard:

On the "Upload" screen there would be another button labeled as "Import book" which would activate a similar functionality as now provides the "Internet Archive Import tool". On the "Describe" screen there would be an additional option to import external metadata from external sources either in MARC, BibJson or others. Currently MARCsman exists as a standalone tool Extra data fields for books Store all book meta data in the commons Template:Book Create automatically an "Index:" page on Wikisource with the relevant data. FUTURE: When Wikidata is deployed on Commons and Wikisoruce, create an item in Wikidata with book meta data and link the fields both in Commons and in Wikisource.

Deliverables

Up to June 20: project research

June 21-30: write the code for the upload screens.

July 1-14: write the code for creating the metadata and index pages

July 15-21: test the code.

July 22-31: fixing bugs, writing documentation.

August 1- 20: final fixes, performance improvements, tests, code clean up.

August 20: pencil down
