Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Wikitech contributors/"Nodes" aggregation might not require an extension/reply

Interesting! The only reason to suggest an extension was not to mess with the rest of the system. If Nodes can be created just by configuring properly the system, then all the better.

We could start iterating on Nodes without External Data, simply with data available in the own wiki. For instance, the first Node features proposed here requires that


 * Category pages aggregate automatically related events and users.
 * The content area is as editable as a regular category page.

For example: "Node:Lua" starts with the plain editable textarea, followed by a list of users (only names linked to profiles) following the Lua category, and Lua events in the right column.

Once this piece is working we would consider more entities from within the wiki: projects and tasks.

When we reach this stage we can consider external data: Wikimedia Blog entries, Bugzilla and Gerrit. But I wouldn't put too much thought on these at this point.
