Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles edit

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration... edit

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles edit

We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts edit

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention edit

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles edit

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

External links modified edit

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on JsonML. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 18 January 2022).

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
  • If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 14:25, 28 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

‎Found references apparently confirming origination date, creator, and more early history edit

Using this Google search: site:jsonml.org ", 2006-"

produces the following results, which appear to be the earliest marked entries for the official site.


The first defines the primary driving purpose for the development of JsonML:

Stephen M. McKamey, 2006-11-11  http://www.jsonml.org/ajax-ui/  JsonML - Building UI in Ajax


The second, in good form as the technical writing STEM equivalent of an original release announcement lays out the "Intention of JsonML" with links to the what appear to be the original creators major repository for this project:

Stephen M. McKamey, 2006-11-11  http://www.jsonml.org/xml/      JsonML - Converting XML to JsonML

"Intention of JsonML:

"Despite XHTML UI markup being the initial use case for JsonML, the intention is that any XML representation may be efficiently represented in JsonML. In this sense, authors may be able to work in a format which is more familiar while still leveraging the advantages of a JSON-savvy framework. In order to demonstrate its usage, an open-source transformation to produce 'JsonML from XML' https://raw.github.com/mckamey/jsonml/master/jsonml.xslt

and open-source JavaScript to produce 'W3C DOM elements from JsonML'

https://raw.github.com/mckamey/jsonml/master/jsonml-html.js

are both available."


Another later article refers back and builds off this earlier announcement "as previously discussed":

Stephen M. McKamey, 2007-02-03  http://www.jsonml.org/ajax-ui/binding/  JsonML - Binding Behaviors to DOM Elements


Also noteworthy is the very nice README.md that details the major use cases, which one immediately sees upon entering:

https://github.com/mckamey/jsonml


And, the original commit was: @mckamey committed Nov 16, 2006 - trunk
