Hi, I'm the one who claimed the task #124.

I'm going to create a Joomla! plug-in to use joomla's username & password to login  to MediaWiki.

Yea!!!

What do you need to get started? Have you had any experience with Joomla! development before? Do you need some hints? Or, are you ready to get rolling?

Thanks for taking this one - gotta have MediaWiki integration!

Hi,  sorry for the late response.

Im a little experienced with Joomla!. But been a php developer for a while. I'm gonna start work on it now. Ill post here any questions I get on the way.

Thanks

Have you found the Authentication Plugins for Joomla!, yet? Those are in the plugins\authentication\ folder. There is one for gmail, LDAP and OpenID, plus an example one, as well. I think those could be very helpful.

And, these examples from the task ought to give you the blueprint of what is needed to logon to MediaWiki.

peachepe -

Tomorrow is the last day to claim tasks and we were really hoping this would be done. Community involvement is very important and it has been nearly three weeks since we have heard from you. That's okay, because it's understandable how life gets busy.

I'm going to cancel this task in hopes that someone else might be able to do it as their last task. Thanks for understanding.

Hi Amy, I would really love to take this task . I'm already uploading the final version of the blog calendar to the joomlacode page and posting the link in the google page.

Did anything ever happen with this?
