What is the actual name of this project? It seems to be mostly called 'mwcli', but this page is 'Cli', and the first sentence says "mw is a MediaWiki focused command line tool…". I think it'd be good to be consistent (and probably 'mwcli' is best, although I also think 'mwcli-dev' would be more expressive of its purpose/audience).
I have an older project called mwcli and am thinking I should probably rename it to avoid confusion: https://github.com/samwilson/mwcli
Yeah, some changes to the naming could make some sense. I was thinking rebranding to "Wikimedia" rather than referencing mediawiki might make more sense, as it is slowly evolving into a general development tool in the Wikimedia space, for example it has gitlab integration which right now doesn't relate to mediawiki at all. Also, Gerrit, tools etc.
I should maybe look at how GitHub and gitlab do their branding in terms of the name of the tool, name of the docs and name of the executable etc
@Addshore How to become a MediaWiki hacker#Docker describes mwcli as experimental. I would consider it stable at this point and an easier solution to point beginner developers towards than setting up a MediaWiki and MySQL in Docker manually. For this reason I would like to remove the "experimental" description. Thoughts?
Hey hey, I think stable might be a bit far, as I'm still planning on some large ish wide reaching changes. However the current docker development environment I'd consider fairly stable. Maybe we should list it as beta?
I wanted to make a way to mark certain commands as beta, and that might allow me to release a 1.0.0 by the end of the year :)
I went ahead and tweaked this slighlty, https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker&diff=prev&oldid=5818601&diffmode=source now it just says "new" And I'll aim for a 1.0.0 for the end of the year :)
