MediaWiki ruby gems are no-longer maintained
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

I'm volunteering to assist in maintaining the Ruby mediawiki API gem, as it's fallen into a near abandoned state.

This left it locking to dependencies that were so old, it was a poison pill to projects, further lowering its usage.

In addition there are numerous improvements that could be made (top of mind is better cmcontinue handling...)

Attached LFaraone as we've previously worked together and (I think?) would vouch for me

Event Timeline

@rickmark: Hi, did zeljkofilipin beforehand agree to work on this (as you assigned them)? Where to find the codebase exactly?

zeljkofilipin subscribed.

I'm happy to help with this if I can, but I can't work on it. Ruby gems are not maintained because we are no longer using them. See T139740: Port Selenium tests from Ruby to Node.js and T228160: Mark mediawiki_api and mediawiki_selenium Ruby gems as deprecated.

zeljkofilipin added a subscriber: Asaf.

@rickmark If you're interested in helping with mediawiki_api, we'll be transferring the ownership to @Asaf soon.
