• created simple idea of API for language data

Until July 15

• Cerated Filtering functionality : By this time, a filtering functionality seemed to be an important feature to have on the LCMD interface. Filtering simply means that there would be a list of the language tools on one side along with checkboxes and the checking those would output the list of the languages that have those tools enabled. So, if say suppose, we have both jquery.ime and jquery.webfonts checked in, the language output will give a list of the common languages with both the tools enabled. This was kind of important. Screen shot and more detail on another blog post.
• Set up tools instance for project tool instance
• Set up new repo for project with lots of commits New repo
• Created simple php API for language data : Here I have developed a simple prototype version of Language detail APIs so that any website / user want to use that information that can fetch the details using that API

Return dataType is : JSON and if you are using cross domain data transfer then it should be JSONP.

$.ajax({
    url : 'http://tools.wmflabs.org/lcm-dashboard/lcmd/api/php/dataapi.php?query=jquery_ime',
    dataType : 'JSONP',
    type : 'GET',
    //data : 'query=webfonts jquery_ime' ,
    success : function(data){ 
        console.log(data);
    },
    error : function(data){
        console.log(data);
    }
})

It will return the data in JSON format.

Beautiful example of this API usage is here
