Week 6

Develop another extension, Upload2Commons, to add a new module to the API, which allow a user to upload a local file to a remote wiki through OAuth:
- see module documentation: Special:ApiHelp/upload-to-commons;
- test it on the ApiSandbox;
- source code available on it's git repository.
add a feature in the oauthclient-php library: T186739

Week 5

Many enhancements to LinguaRecorder:
- Add new export methods (Wav-encoded blob, client-download, <audio> element,...);
- Comment the code and document the whole library;
- Create a sandbox to easily demonstrate all the features;
- Test and add support to old browsers (Firefox 25+, Chrome 22+,... see the complete list here).
Present LinguaLibre during the monthly Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meetings

Week 4

Create a npm package for LinguaRecorder: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lingua-recorder
Add debugging tools to Mediawiki.
Add TimedMedia ans translation-related extensions.
Manage permissions: allow only the users with the upload right to use the RecordWizard.
Setup a basic recording studio.

Week 3

Setup the server with a fresh primary MediaWiki installation to use as a development environment, accessible at https://v2.lingualibre.fr.
Install the OAuthAuthentication extension to delegate the login to an other wiki. Here are the settings currently in use inside the LocalSettings.php file:

LocalSettings.php configuration

# Remove the default TemporaryPassword and LocalPassword authentication provider
# to let OAuth as the only authentication provider usable.
$wgAuthManagerAutoConfig['primaryauth'] = [];

# Activate the OAuthAuthentication extension
wfLoadExtension( 'OAuthAuthentication' );

$wgOAuthAuthenticationUrl = 'https://oauth.0x010c.fr/index.php?title=Special:OAuth';
$wgOAuthAuthenticationConsumerKey = '<consumer_key>';
$wgOAuthAuthenticationConsumerSecret = '<consumer_secret>';
$wgOAuthAuthenticationCanonicalUrl = 'https://oauth.0x010c.fr';
$wgOAuthAuthenticationRemoteName = 'OauthWiki';
$wgOAuthAuthenticationAllowLocalUsers = false;
$wgOAuthAuthenticationReplaceLoginLink = true;

Setup a secondary MediaWiki installation to be used by the first one as a remote authentication provider (to replace Wikimedia Commons during the development phase), accessible at https://oauth.0x010c.fr.
Install the Wikibase extension. Here is it's LocalSettings.php configuration:

LocalSettings.php configuration

# Activate the Wikibase Repository extension
$wgEnableWikibaseRepo = true;
$wgEnableWikibaseClient = false;
require_once "$IP/extensions/Wikibase/repo/Wikibase.php";
require_once "$IP/extensions/Wikibase/repo/ExampleSettings.php";

# Create a new namespace to host properties
define( 'WB_NS_PROPERTY', 102 );
define( 'WB_NS_PROPERTY_TALK', 103 );

$wgExtraNamespaces[WB_NS_PROPERTY] = 'Property';
$wgExtraNamespaces[WB_NS_PROPERTY_TALK] = 'Property_talk';

# Store the items in the main namespace, the properties in their newly created one
$wgWBRepoSettings['entityNamespaces']['item'] = NS_MAIN;
$wgWBRepoSettings['entityNamespaces']['property'] = WB_NS_PROPERTY;

# We don't need sitelinks
$wgWBRepoSettings['siteLinkGroups'] = array();

# see https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Wikibase/blob/master/docs/options.wiki
$wgWBRepoSettings['formatterUrlProperty'] = 'P20';

Draft the datastructure and create the first property/items needed.
Install the timeless skin.
First commit to initialize the new RecordWizard extension.
Split the recording studio out of the LinguaLibre repository, to it's own new repo, LinguaRecorder.
