Re: Working on MediaWiki-to-Git contrib

Hi,

Last year, a group of students from Ensimag, institute of technology in Grenoble, France, contributed to Git: they developed a bridge between Git and Mediawiki, meaning you could edit wikis using your favorite version control system. You can have a view of their work here: https://github.com/Bibzball/Git-Mediawiki/wiki

This year, we are two groups of students which get down to the work again. Matthieu Moy is mentoring us.

Group 1: Simon Cathebras, Julien Khayat, Simon Perrat, Charles Roussel and Guillaume Sasdy. Our first goal is to develop a comprehensive testing environment for this project; afterwards we will jump on to the development of new functionalities.

Group 2: Javier Roucher Iglesias, Kim Thuat Nguyen, Pavel Volek. Our goal is to develop some new functionalities for the bridge git-mediawiki and improve the functionalities which are incomplete.

First functionality: Basically, we want to manage MediaWiki attachments (i.e. File:... pages): allow git-remote-mediawiki to export local files to MediaWiki attachments, and vice-versa.

Second functionality: We want to use another procedure to save the login and the password without saving it in a local file. Is it possible to use the "Git Credential Helper"? Or is there another way to save this information?

If you've had the occasion to use this tool and have some feedback, or have any suggestion of improvement, we'd be grateful to hear your comments.

Best regards, we hope to make a good job ;)
