=Reading List=
==Synopsis==
This project aims to implement reading lists into wikimedia projects. The idea was suggested in the [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2015_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Reading#Reading_List community wishlist consultation]] and supported by multiple community members.
Mentors: @Jhernandez (technical), @4nn1l2 (community)
==Deliverables==
Right now the only way to save pages into lists is using the watchlist (one single list, multipurpose, tailored for editing tasks) or using wiki pages in the user namespace (public lists, non-structured wikitext, no grouping, filtering, sorting, etc.).
The scope of the project is to provide users with ways to save pages into lists/buckets, in a private way (like the watchlist), for later reference or reading. This should work on the desktop site and the mobile site both.
===Core objectives===
# User can save pages into lists
## From the page itself
## From the lists interface
# User can create new lists,Core Objectives==
**Adding to the list:** A logged in user can save pages into their reading lists from either of:
and provide a name and description for their own reference
# User can access their list of lists# From the page itself - a button ( probably a book icon ) neatly arranged next to the Watchlist button would be the best approach.
## And can view it
# From the lists interface - a Special:Reading List page, which can allow adding pages to user reading lists.
**Managing lists:** A logged in user can create new lists, and provide a name and description for their own reference. By default, all additions goes to a default list.
=====Special:Reading List=====
## And can edit itIn general, a user can get the following options from the Special page:
# View the user's reading lists
## # Edit their readings lists
# Edit title/descriptionon of the reading list
## # Remove/add memberspages to the reading list
## # Sort items (manually, by edit date, by added date)
## # And can delete it
## # And can export it to a public page (wikitext)
===Optional objectives===
# Adding in tags each item, for reference ( see screenshot attached ).
=====Optional objectives=====
# Setting reminders to lists ( echo notifo reminding about it )
# Exporting list as books ( PDF/epub )
# Sharing ownership of lists with other users

=====Before Project Begins=====
- Focus on fixing more bugs related to Gather extension and get microtasks done.
- Understand the drawbacks of Gather and make required steps not repeat them in Reading List

==About Me==
I am a FOSS evangelist, Computer Science major from Amrita School of Engineering, India. I started contributing to Open Source through Mediawiki doing small bug fixing. Having worked with the different kinds of bugs in a different environment improved my skills to analyze the code and submit relevant patches. All my contributions would be listed down in my Gerrit, Github. As a newbie, I was encouraged by the community on various platforms like mailing lists, IRC, which kept me involved and motivated was the constant support from the community.
I am a self-motivated programmer who is working towards for the development of a strong FOSS community by helping as many as FOSS enthusiast as I could. I have volunteered to conduct a Google Code-In three-day workshop for school teachers, so more young students can start contributing to the Open source. Through this event, some students started contributing to MediaWiki.
