= Section Handling in Semantic Forms =

This is the project page for my Google Summer of Code 2013 project to implement Section Handling in the Semantic Forms extension.

Project Description
The Semantic Forms Extension in Mediawiki is a useful and widely used feature of MediaWiki to make semantically structured data, contained within template calls which are easy to create and edit. However at present Semantic Forms does not support structuring of wiki pages by page sections. Accomplishing this project would mean enabling administrators to define page sections in the form definition for the structure of their wiki pages. It would also allow users to add data to those defined page sections using forms in the Semantic Forms extension.

The project would also extend the Page schemas extension to allow defining of page sections.

Progress
I will be posting weekly progress updates for the period 17th June 2013 - 27th September 2013 here.

Community Bonding Period
During this period I have gone through the necessary documentation to understand the working of Semantic Forms extension and also a bit about Semantic MediaWiki and MediaWiki in general. I have also written a small code sample to add a tag to understand the project better.

I have discussed with my mentor on the work I'm going to do next and have agreed upon the methods and frequency of communication as well as details pertaining to coding and updates.
