VisualEditor/Design meetings/2015-05-18

From mediawiki.org

Participants: Neil Quinn, Joel Aufrecht, Daisy Chen, Abbey Ripstra

Link Inspector improvements[edit]

  • Will discuss whether the current link inspector design has satisfied requirements when Nirzar is here.
  • Design Research wants to test the link inspector (since that was skipped in last week's test) and make sure there are no usability problems
  • Ideally so that any improvements can be made before the possible rollout to the English Wikipedia.

Process and timeline for new user education improvements[edit]

  • Will discuss when Nirzar and James are here.
  • Goals and metrics for tools
  • Scope of work:
    • guided tour?
    • animated/video guide?
    • widespread text documentation updates?

Update on any other user-facing engineering work[edit]

  • Neil: not aware of anything. We may start making, within the next six months, a new Wikitext editor that uses the same design style and many of the tools (e.g. media insertion dialog) from VisualEditor.
    • Will discuss new Wikitext editor when Nirzar and James are here.
