Goal
The final goal is to help the WBS development team providing a configuration of Wikibase Suite with as much extras as possible, to mimic the user experience in Wikidata.
Context
- Today is easier than ever to set up your WBS instance. The Deploy distribution packages an awesome amount of complexity in a very simple task for a not very experienced system administrator.
- The bad news is its configuration in the current form is «naked» and it not includes many mature and well know Mediawiki extensions available, reducing the product value.
- In the last release there is an approach to add extensions at the docker-compose level. The bad part is many of the most interesting extensions needs modifications at the Dockerfile level and, worst, they need experienced MediaWiki integrators/administrators/developers to properly configure them.
- The output of T391821 is expected to help this task.
- Why choose a multimedia configuration? Because it's an excelent demonstrator of the power of the MediaWiki plaform. Also, there is a practical need for it (see VSG).
- Finally, we don't target wb.cloud because their operative has stronger requirements but hopefuly some results could be suitable for it, after the product managers evaluation.
First draft
Sadly, I don't have a practical draft to share but an amount of notes and failed experiments :-)
