Untimed subtitles:

Hello, Utrecht! I’m Lucas from Berlin, and for a while now I’ve been working on a modern JavaScript library to interact with the MediaWiki action API, and one of my hackathon projects was to add OAuth support to this library, so that people can use it to build things like tools for Wikimedia Toolforge that use OAuth to interact with users, and so about half an hour before closing time, I think, I had managed to put enough working code together that I was able to make an API request that returned my own user name, authenticated via OAuth, which was quite nice; and then in the days since then, I’ve been putting this code on GitHub and adding some documentation, cleaning it up, adding some missing features – there’s still some things listed in the limitations that I hope that I will get around to at some point – but I’m optimistic that I’ll be able to release a first version of this library reasonably soon, and until then you can find the code on GitHub at lucaswerkmeister/m3api-oauth2, where m3api is the general library I’m working on (so this is just one part of it that you can use or don’t have to if you don’t want to)… and that’s all I have to show for today already, so – thank you very much to everyone who made this amazing event possible, and goodbye!
