Create Project for 3D-viewer extension "StlHandler"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This project is an Extension for Mediawiki software that adds the functionality of uploading and viewing 3D models in STL file formar

Event Timeline

You are requesting a phabricator project for your extension?

It was because of tasks like you mentioned that i started developing the extension. After consulting MarkTraceur from WMF, i began creating the extension for .STL-format 3D files. In the middle of April i learnt that Gilles has also started to create this type of extension. I have contated Gilles and after he returns from vacation, i will be looking into possibilities regarding collaboration.
The name of my extension is StlHandler

@HarriA: Has that happened? :)
And is this request still valid, given that 3D exists?

Yes, we spoke briefly in a few e-mails. But there has been a break for about a month now. Last i tested his extension i found some abnormalities regarding the position manipulation of the object, which my extension doesn't have. But the thumbnailing is what I haven't implemented due to just plain lack of knowledge/experience in Mediawiki. And that i like about Gilles's solution.

I don't know what the best path going forward would be. Maybe Gilles can provide some insight himself

I haven't found time to address the UI bugs you've found, I'm too bogged down with work. Soon...

@Gilles & @HarriA : What is the current status, please?

Is this request still valid considering the already existing 3D?

Could anyone provide a status update for this task please? See last comment. Thanks.

Yes it is still valid. I would like to take my project to a completion and a phabricator project would only incentivize me more.
As for the status, I have been out of it since probably the mid of June, but i now have more time to _work on it.

@HarriA: Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects#New_projects for required information, such as a project description, a link to the homepage of your extension, and a link to the codebase of your extension.

Project name : StlHandler
Project description: This extension adds support for viewing 3D-objects in STL file format.
Codebase of my extension: https://github.com/HarriAlasi/StlHandler
As for the homepage, what do you mean? I have it not installed currently anywhere? Would the github page suffice?

Personally I'd expect something on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StlHandler , similar to other pages like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:3d

https://github.com/HarriAlasi/StlHandler/issues is enabled, so what is your plan on not having two places (GitHub and Wikimedia Phabricator) for bug reports and feature requests?
Or do you plan to completely move to Wikimedia Git/Gerrit and drop GitHub?

https://github.com/HarriAlasi/StlHandler saw its last commit in May 2016 so how actively maintained is the project actually?

Hello! Sorry for the late answer again. I plan to move project to phabricator as I feel here the extension would get more attention and from more involved people.
Also, i've drafted a Wiki homepage for my Extension by shamelessly copying Gilles's page:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StlHandler
As for the development, i plan to work on it again soon(tm), the faster i can transfer it to phabricator the more incentive I have. I feel like there's no use in half-completed project
I hope that concludes everything needed for opening a project. Let me know if there's still something missing.

Aklapper claimed this task.

Personally I'm not happy to see two solutions for the same problem being developed in parallel (3d and StlHandler) instead of teaming up and working on a single codebase, but that's not a reason to block anything here... :)

@HarriA:

Requested project MediaWiki-extensions-StlHandler has been created: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/2324/

I've also linked to it from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:StlHandler

Please encourage interested people to visit the project and to join the project as members, and to watch the project in order to receive updates. Recommended practices for project and workboard management in Phabricator are available. Enjoy!

I assume you will disable GitHub's issue tracking and link to Wikimedia Phabricator.

If you'd like to move from GitHub to Wikimedia Git/Gerrit/Diffusion for primary code repository hosting and code reviewing, please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git/New_repositories/Requests - thanks!

Closing as resolved as project in Phabricator was created.

Happy hacking!
