Hello there,
I code in PHP, Javascript and Python and have a specific 'want', which
is to improve the xtools gadget
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hedonil/XTools> browser
plugin-like thing (which I think will involve the file xtools/api.php)
that currently shows revisions/authors etc. so it can show more data on
hover dropdown (like top 10 authors). I've been using this gadget for a
year, and it still works but I notice that the full page statistics and
pageviews links no longer seem to work.
I don't know much about the current state of these tools, but I may also
be up for making some other contributions if needed, depending on their
complexity.
I've had a brief look over the mailing list archives and it looks like
there is some dissatisfaction with the old code and a rewrite is in
progress? (I see the xtools-rebirth repo on github). If someone could
give me a brief overview of what's happening with xtools and where
things are going that would be great, and an idea of how I can
contribute my idea.
