Description
Lepton is an open-source initiative hosted on GitHub, available for free without an option for donations. Instead, contributions can be directed to the Wikimedia Foundation, which promotes free knowledge through Wikipedia and its associated projects globally. The application utilizes GitHub APIs to identify the language being used. It features a centralized configuration file that is read during the app's startup process and is not generated automatically. Lepton operates purely as a desktop client for GitHub Gist, lacking any independent service; all information is stored either locally or on the GitHub Gist platform. To use it, you will need to create a GitHub token with Gist permissions and input this token along with other settings into the enterprise section of the Lepton config file. Moreover, Lepton offers a well-structured description area that supports both titles and tagging, allowing users to categorize their gists by language and personalized tags. The application also supports Markdown rendering, enhancing the user experience, and as an additional benefit, it can double as a markdown note-taking tool, providing access from anywhere. This versatility makes Lepton a valuable resource for developers and note-takers alike.
Description
The Editing team's VisualEditor initiative strives to develop a dependable rich-text editor for MediaWiki. This editor, which can be utilized as a MediaWiki extension with the assistance of the Parsoid project for HTML+RDFa, is designed in such a way that its core functionality can operate independently of MediaWiki, Parsoid, or Node.js. Since 2020, VisualEditor has been accessible to all users on MediaWiki.org and is also available on nearly all versions of Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. For many other Wikimedia projects and languages, it functions as an optional Beta Feature for logged-in users. Although VisualEditor is accessible in certain namespaces, such as the main namespace, it is typically not available in discussion or template namespaces. The issue of declining new contributor growth is perceived as one of the most significant challenges confronting the Wikimedia movement. To address this, VisualEditor was developed to eliminate unnecessary technical barriers related to Wikimedia's editing interface, which is seen as essential for boosting the number of contributors to Wikimedia projects. By simplifying the editing process, the project aims not only to enhance user experience but also to foster a more inviting environment for potential contributors.
