Discussion module:CentralDiscussion

Title and task

• The current modules are made for one language and one wiki. Small wikis do not have Lua-coders to translate them and can not enjoy them.
• So I wrote a module able to translate them and more ...
• To convert a module into a central module, you have to add some tables of arguments ... and replace the texts with their translation keys and their arguments.
• For a new language, only add translations, in Module:Example/I18N, without any configuration.
• The Phabricator task: T198107 Begin to use central modules is the start point of the deployment.
• This task consist to begin to use central modules as described in the Central modules reference manual .
• It is not for an alone Lua coder. My role is to transmit my know-how and to support others to adapt their most useful modules.
• The sharing concern also to update documentations.
• We must specialy take care of the stability .
• This task continue until it will be shared by 7 Lua coders, in 7 projects, in 7 Languages.

Cooperate

• It is used in the first Module:Central.
• A dedicated library supports Lua-coders: the Library:activity and links to our modules and user pages.
• We could discuss here to share this task.
• When the central repositotry will become stable we will move all this cooperation in it.
