Description

Based on the work in webkipedia let's setup a Parsoid based prototype that simply renders the article content.

What will we build? What's in scope? How will we build it?
What should be shared between the web app and the prototype?

Hours: 8hrs
Outcome: Create an epic card. Creating a proof of concept would be useful.
You'll need to setup a meeting to chat over some of this stuff - I would suggest ensuring @GWicke is in that meeting along with team members who are interested.
Please output findings/proposal in T114663

Possible outcome:

HTML JavaScript app with non-functioning UI that shows mobile frontend chrome with search and hamburger icon that loads the content of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama
it should be styled the same as MobileFrontend, reusing static copies of the stylesheets generated by MobileFrontend
Section collapsing
Clicking a link loads an article

We will use this prototype to identify issues with styling due to different Parsoid markup and to identify problems with hijacking links in JavaScript.

This card is stalled until Joaquin returns and we can discuss the approach here.

@Jhernandez thanks for this. I'm planning to kick off the sprint with this: T114663
Can you review and let me know if you seem like an 8 is a fair estimate? I'm keen to get the section issues resolved in Parsoid asap, given that they are going to play a crucial part in us achieving our goal.

Sure thing! 👍
