Tech:Projects

Miraheze continually strives to provide a strong, community centred service; along with that comes community scrutiny and community involvement over projects that are planned to take up considerable resources in terms of development, reviewing efforts, deployment, or long-standing maintenance.

Below is a list of large projects that SRE has in mind, the idea of this page is to:
 * Have a centralised place for active community discussion over merits, design specs, etc.
 * Store all information about a project in a central place, not in Phabricator.
 * Be planned and thoroughly thought through before being formally proposed as a project eligible for a goal.

A proposal template is available here and should be put in a subpage.

Anyone may:
 * Propose a new project (see here).
 * Comment on a proposal (use the talk page of the relevant proposal).
 * Work on a proposal (see Contributing and starting points in a proposal for guidance).

Current proposals

 * Automation of SSL requests — Implement a system where on request, users are able to generate a Lets Encrypt certificate which is then deployed to GitHub and to MediaWiki via $wgServer (after being approved by an SRE member) (~175 hours).
 * CreateWiki AI improvement — Improve the current AI system for CreateWiki to allow for different factors to be taken into account when assessing how 'good' a request is (~175 hours).
 * Proper CI for Miraheze extensions — Implement proper continuous integration for extensions maintained by Miraheze (~175 hours).
 * Multiversion — Introduce the ability to deploy multiple MediaWiki versions to 1 server (~175 hours).

In progress

 * None yet.

Completed

 * List of Miraheze wikis — A page where all wikis are listed off and can be ranked/categorised and viewed by all users.
 * Statistics page for all wikis — A page where analytical information for all wikis can be displayed using information collected and stored by Miraheze currently in Matomo.
