libmediawiki
Problem statement
| The fact that
|
there doesn't exist a Qt API for MediaWiki
|
| affects
|
Qt and KDE developers, and their users,
|
| because
|
the absence of readily available API discourages developers from building desktop tools for reading or editing MediaWiki-hosted content.
|
| A successful solution would
|
provide Qt developers with such a tool, therefore enabling and encouraging them to create new software based on it.
|
Success criteria
- The library is usable and reused outside this project.
Product position

|
is a Qt API
|
| that
|
allows to quickly and abstractly interface with a MediaWiki interface
