Template PAWS' home page from a Wiki page
Open, LowPublic

Description

PAWS should re-render a wiki page as it's index (what you see when you go to https://paws.wmflabs.org). This wiki page would provide edit access to all wikimedia users in a familiar space.

I propose https://mediawiki.org/wiki/PAWS/Index or something like that.

We could use RESTBase for accessing the page HTML periodically or on-demand. E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Page_content/get_page_html_title (page/html/PAWS%2FIndex)

Use-case: I'm curating directories/lists/whatever of notebooks/projects and I want to design some good features on the home page that would call attention interesting projects/notebooks. E.g. projects/notebooks that are getting some good use/development, but I don't want to submit a pull request.

Event Timeline

So, the idea is that anyone can add public links to any interesting Jupyter notebooks or directories of which they are aware to the MediaWiki page, even if they are someone else's notebooks? That makes sense to me.

An additional usecase for this is any "tutorial" notebooks we create. The main index would be a natural place to link to those.

@Halfak, @Capt_Swing, this is now doable with the our own Paws hub image.

I do see the value of having a wiki-page were help, messages and some branding can be placed. Do you have ideas to start the page? I could look into implementing this into paws-beta immediately and push this to production in the next jupyterhub release.
