Make gadgets easily customizable (merge Gadgets' branch "gadgetprefs" from GSoC 2011)
Open, LowPublic
Actions

Description

  • As a gadget developer, I want a standard way to customize gadgets (not copying local implementations from one wiki to another).
  • As a gadget user, I want a nice UI to customize the gadgets I use, without having to learn how to edit a JS/CSS subpage.

The "gadgetprefs" (from GSoC 2011) branch seems to implement that, but is rotting since 2011:
