October 2011 Coding Challenge/Submissions
- Archive of submissions. This contains the versions of the code as submitted by November 7, 23:59 UTC and is intended to provide a snapshot to allow for fair comparison of all submissions.
The table below contains links to the public repositories for each submission, which may have been updated since the submission deadline.
Mobile Photo Upload
| Submission ID | Submission name | Submission description | URL |
|---|---|---|---|
| 405 | -- | A fork of the Wikipedia Phonegap app (Android/iOS). Doesn't seem to include any novel code but includes some wireframes for a possible by-location upload work flow. | https://github.com/rememmber |
| 561 | Upload Wizard | A fork of the Wikipedia Phonegap app (Android/iOS). Adds the beginnings of an attempted port of the Wikimedia Commons commons:Special:Upload Wizard. Presentation page. | User:Tpt/Upload Wizard |
| 1542 | WikiShoot | WikiShoot is an iOS (iPhone and iPad) application allowing you to take photos of unphotographed locations and upload them to Wikimedia Commons (or some other MediaWiki deployment). | https://github.com/pypt/WikiShoot |
| 2571 | Share with Commons | Adds a "Share with Wikimedia Commons" option to Android's "Share with" options e.g. in the gallery application | https://github.com/michiel1972/shareWithCommons |
| 2582 | Wikiporter | An app implemented using Appscend for "representing articles from Wikipedia around the user's location and making it easy to add images to those articles." |
Greg seems to have disqualified these two because they lack READMEs, but they should still be reviewed:
- Wiki-a-pictures (2199)
- App builds and allows me to either take a photo or include one from my album. It then goes to a "Select Article" screen which doesn't do anything. Rating: 1 Tfinc 07:45, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
- Wikipedia-App (1583)
- Nicely retouched UI. Login works. Image upload works. I can even see what i've uploaded in the past. Sadly the config option to notify a user that they should uplad an image when an article needs doesn't seem to work. Rating: 3 Tfinc 07:55, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
Making Wikipedia More Alive
| Submission ID | Submission name | Submission description | URL |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | WhoSaidThat | "Adds a link near the top of most pages inviting the user to start the revisions user interface which produces graphs, pie charts, lists and totals data for the revision history of that page." | User:WhoSaidThat |
| 301 | WikiDiffLX | An effort to clean up MediaWiki's diff implementation (improved handling of whitespace changes or other kinds of edits that are currently confusingly displayed). Predates the coding challenge and no modifications appear to have been made for it. | User:PerfektesChaos/WikidiffLX |
| 2015 | -- | A user script which polls a page for edits while the user is reading it. | https://gist.github.com/1346599 |
| 2189 | Most Edited | A user script which generates a list of the most edited pages in a wiki in a given recent time period (e.g. last hour). It breaks down the specific sections which have received edits. | User:Schnark/mostEdited.js |
| 2227 | LiveEdit | A MediaWiki extension which highlights the "Edit" tab and provides additional information on mouseover if a a page is being edited while the user is visiting it. | https://github.com/johnduhart/LiveEdit |
| 2241 | WikiTrip | A stand-alone visualization (depends on some APIs running on the toolserver) which shows gender and origin of an article's contributors, to the extent that the information is public. Predates the coding challenge and no modifications appear to have been made for it. | https://github.com/volpino/wikipedia-timeline |
| 2312 | WikiJoy | A simple voting mechanism for pages which adds an "Enjoy" tab. Does not work on Wikipedia due to same origin policy. Depends on an API, which is implemented as an independent PHP script and database definition. | User:Jonas AGX/Project page |
| 2539 | VisualChanges | An incomplete effort to better visualize diffs. | User:Robintibor/VisualChanges.js |
| 2577 | wiki_code_challenge_rtu | Updates a page in real-time while the user is viewing the page if any changes are being made. Requires a Node.js service to be running on the user's localhost. Forked from wikistream. | https://github.com/magicrootZ/wiki_code_challenge_rtu |
| 2578 | __wikirevs__ | A user script which shows a balloon pop-up if a page has been modified while the user has been viewing it, and allows viewing an in-line diff if desired. | https://github.com/massigrillo/__wikirevs__ |
Greg seems to have disqualified this one because it lacks a README, but it should still be reviewed:
- KnowNow (GitHub description: "This extension lists recent revisions of the current page and of the wiki. Ajax functions update the box every minute.")
