- Write, documentation and test plan
How the project will be done
- PHP
- ~~MSQL~~, JSON, data model.

- UX Design
- Mediawiki
  - Read documentation(made list).
  - Try it: Develop simple extension, just to try.
Where the project will be done
- Project management: Bugzilla
- Code management
  - Production(code time): Git and Gerrit Wikimedia
  - Test and learn(pre-code time): Github
- Communication:
  - IRC: GorillaWarfare on Freenode
  - E-mail: gorillawarfarewikipedia gmail.com
  - Wiki: User:GorillaWarfare (most active on English Wikipedia and English Wikisource)
When the project will be done

  - Typical work hours - most active(eight hours): 3pm–10pm UTC (time zone differences)
  - Typical work hours - very most active(four hours): 4pm–7pm UTC (time zone differences)

Deliverables (code time)

I believe we need to submit two independent stable parts. Otherwise just taking too much time trying to finish the entire code, and we will have no usable code to deadline.

When this is ready	When this is stable	Feature	Bug	Dependencies	Details
July 14	July 31	Create basic tool for reading books(group of pages)	bug 50386	Tree	This means, having a reading interface that can provide relatively stable metadata, list of chapters and links to prev/next chapters in, at least, one book
August 6	August 20	Create an tool for edit books(group of pages) that reduces the learning curve	bug 51239	Tree	This means that the learning time to create/edit a book with this editing tool should be reduced, at least, by half

August 21 - September 6

Test plan
- Design (review)(in progress?)
- Basic tests(in progress)
- Debug(in progress)
- Conventions(in progress)
- Localisation(in progress)
- Performace(in progress)
- Security (checklist)(?)
- Accessibility(?)
- Compatibility(?)
Documentation
- Basic documentation in extension page Done(partial)
- Make a screencast showing the fun
Review queue
- Create Extension: mediawiki.org page for the extension Done(extension page)
- Request a component in the WMF Bugzilla instance Done(request - component)
- Get the extension code in git/gerrit Done(request - git)
- Ensure your extension is properly translatable.
- Make a screencast showing the fun
- Request a design review (especially needed if the extension affects any user facing functionality)
- Request a performance and security reviews
- Show community support/desire for the extension to be deployed (most likely applicable)
- Create a tracking bug (see above) for the extensions deployment to WMF servers
  - This bug should only concern that issue, any sub-issues should be separate bugs that are marked as "blocking" this bug

September 7 - September 16

Everything was planned is ready. Start working on the "if times permits" list.

September 17 - September 27

Use this time to stabilize "if times permits" list, or organize the timeline in case of unforeseen.
