[s-d] Coding on mediawiki

[shadowfirebird@xxxxxxxxx]

(Again, shoot me down folks, I'm just suggesting here:)

I've just posted an "I'm a programmer but I have very little time free
or experience of this sort of thing" message.

And then I noticed that lots of other people have done extactly the same thing.

My 2c (2p, actually): (1) we should commit to as little work as we can
get away with.  (2) we should break it up into VERY small blocks.  (3)
we should get organised.


So -

(1) we need to agree on the minimum we need to add to mediawiki to
make a comfortable gaming experience.

For me I think a dice roller, a calendar and a clock will do it.
Anything else is just icing.  But then I'm not the admin!  Peter, what
else do you need?

(There's a calendar plugin at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Barrylb/Calendar_extension_and_special_page,
BTW.)


(2) We need to agree on a common language (I think, anyway).

On a very brief review of mediawiki it seems to me that most of it is
done in PHP.  Which I guess is as good as anything.  If we're going to
be organised we should probably all agree to code in the same thing.
It probably doesn't matter what; (Peter?  This is your site?  Are
there any limits to our options?);  but allow me to suggest PHP.


(3) Only then can we agree how to break it up into very small blocks.


Again, just noodling here.  What do you lot think?


Optional.
