[Semediawiki-user] Hi

[ankit g. <ank...@gm...>]

Hi
  My name is ankit garg. I have been selected as one of the students for
google summer of code,2011 representing mediaWiki. I will be working on a
new extension "Semantic Schemas" under the guidance of Mr. Yaron Koren. I am
very excited to work on this project and hopeful that this project will be a
real help in the SMW community .
I have already made some small contributions to SMW which are listed below.

== Some contributions to MediaWiki=========
1) Extension UrlGetParams :
The extension didn't have support for array parameters, like if you have
"?a[b]=c", there was no way to display "c" on the page. Modified the
extension to accept array parameters now . now u can write
{{#urlget:a[key]|default-
value))

2)Extension:ReplaceText
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Replace_Text#Regex_.28big_wish.29)

 added regular expression support for the extension . Now a user can type
regular expression for both search and replace patterns.
 for eg.  a(.*)b" into "search string" and "ab$1" into "replacement string",
and then each instance of "acb" would change into "abc".

3)Calender format in Semantic Result Formats
  calendar' format, which lets users display dates in a calendar. Some
people wanted to be able to change the first day of the week to something
other than Sunday   I added a fix for supporting any day as the first day in
the calender view.

Looking forward to interact with you guys ..
