Title : Offline Support for WikiToLearn WikiEditor

A Brief Description: OfflineExtension is an extension for WikiToLearn that will add offline support to the current WikiEditor. This extension notifies the user, his/her's internet connectivity status and if submitted while offline, will parse Wikitext to HTML and then renders it.

Work Report

During Summer the following tasks were completed :

A MediaWiki Extension that :
- Shows the exact status of internet connectivity of the user and alerts the same.
- Parses WikiText to HTML offline using Regular Expressions.

The OfflineExtension is nearly complete at the moment, but still needs tweaking before it comes to production mode. Some of them are :

Since, all the wikitext tags are currently not supported such as Tables and Templates, I have to look for ways to parse those tags without making the parser heavy.
Making the user interface better by
- Asking user, whether he needs offline editing or not.

This is awesome about GSoC: Everything about GSoC is awesome. The best thing that I found about GSoC is be able to work on something that will actually be in production, which I think is a rare opportunity. In addition, interacting with mentors and developers from across the world and learning new things every day is priceless.

This is what I learned during GSoC:

Working with large codebase
Regular Expressions
Advanced JavaScript and Jquery
MediaWiki Extension Development
Working with Docker
Working with MediaWiki WikiEditor

-'''GSOC as an experience''' <br>
-From the day it began , till now and more time to come , I have just learnt a lot (almost everyday) something new. As a student , I had to work something that is used by the users live ( something which you cannot always experience while working for a corporate). What I found the most exciting was communication channel . Everytime , someone had any query of any type , it would be posted there , and everyone then came to discuss that , which was very educative and fun. My mentors Irene Cortinovis and Gianluca Rigolleti , didn't ever hesistated to answer my queries at any time , and constantly helped with my tasks and planning. I am lucky to be a part of WikiToLearn :)
