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

For Qt and KDE developers
who want to build software that interacts with a MediaWiki website
libmediawiki is a Qt API and an akonadi resource
that allows to quickly and abstractly interface with a MediaWiki interface
in a better way than building a (different) interface from scratch each time.

Roles

  • Qt & KDE developer

Features

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API for details.

Problem statement

Le problème de l'accès à Wikipedia, dépendant d'une connexion internet et d'un navigateur,
affecte les développeurs et les utilisateurs.
L'impact du problème est que les utilisateurs ne peuvent pas avoir le contenu de Wikipedia sur le bureau et que s'il n'ont pas de connexion, le contenu de Wikipedia est indisponible.
Une solution réussie permettrait de pouvoir accéder au contenu de Wikipedia à partir de l'environnement KDE en étant connecté à internet ou hors-ligne.

Critères de succès

  • Bibliothèque utilisable et utilisée.
  • Taux de satisfaction et d'utilisation élevés de la part des utilisateurs. (ex : nombre d'étoiles proche de 5)

Position du produit

Pour les utilisateurs et les développeurs
Qui cherchent à utiliser de manière simplifié Wikipedia.
MediaWiki/Silk est une API ainsi qu'une ressource akonadi
Qui permet d'interfacer l'API MediaWiki en Qt, de synchroniser des pages Wikipedia afin de les utiliser en étant hors-ligne.
Mieux que le navigateur internet.
