Meeting : Newsletter extension at Wikimedia Hackathon, Lyon
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

<copied from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76199#1293240>

Since we wont be able to do much of code work, as a student is assigned for the project, I think we are looking for something in the 'Meeting' category where we can list out what we are planning to do with the NewsLetter. We should be looking at:

  1. How the SpecialPage(s) should look like, what all functions should be made public
  2. Who should be given the right to create/edit NewsLetters
  3. More design inputs for the NewsLetter SpecialPage
  4. Showcase our current idea of creating/storing a NewsLetter - and get more inputs about its feasibility
  5. Possibility of handling subscription from the Special:Preferences

Participants

@Ckoerner, @01tonythomas, @Moushira, @Quiddity, @Bawolff, @Isarra, @Qgil.

I'll be there!

Even if @Tinaj1234 will not be in Lyon, I think it would be great to collaborate somehow during the event. Basically, this is my main hackathon project. Maybe we could have a hangout to plan things... this Thursday? If you have time among your exams, that is.

Discussions we had on 19/05/2015 about 'Meeting' at Lyon Hackathon:

So one possible approach I'd like to suggest

So each newsletter could have a (json) content handler type (similar to campaign - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:Wikimania ), which is the primary page for the newsletter. In the json blob, it includes a list of all previous editions, what the current issue is, and everyone subscribed. The interface is pretty, and has buttons for subscribe, and button for add new edition that automatically adjusts the json appropriately.

Qgil edited subscribers, added: Isarra; removed: Bawolff.

We are meeting again tomorrow Monday at 1pm. It would be great to have Tina on hangout, if possible (?).
