libmediawiki
Problem statement
| The fact that | there doesn't exist a Qt API for MediaWiki |
|---|---|
| affects | Qt and KDE developers, and their users, |
| because | the absence of readily available API discourages developers from building desktop tools for reading or editing MediaWiki-hosted content. |
| A successful solution would | provide Qt developers with such a tool, therefore enabling and encouraging them to create new software based on it. |
Success criteria
- The library is usable and reused outside this project.

|---|---|
| who | want to build software that interacts with a MediaWiki website |
| libmediawiki | is a Qt API and an akonadi resource |
| that | allows to quickly and abstractly interface with a MediaWiki interface |
| in a better way than | building a (different) interface from scratch each time. |

(name TBD)
Problem statement
| The fact that | Wikimedia Commons doesn't provide an intuitive, fully-fledged and cross-platform mass file uploader |

- The tool is downloaded by a large number of people.
- A large number of media files are uploaded using the tool.
