> Why is this bug in ULS component?

Because the WebFonts extension is deprecated.

Is there an interest in proposing this project for Outreach Program for Women?
If so, and if there at least one mentor for it. please move it to the "Featured projects" section. This way it will be automatically transcluded in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_7

Thank you!

Hi, this project is still listed at  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Improve_Extension:WebFonts_or_Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector_for_Chinese_.28or_CJK.29_wikis 

Should this project be still listed in that page? If not, please remove it. If it still makes sense, then it could be moved to the "Featured projects" section if it has community support and mentors.

Hi, I'm going to take the project to apply for GSoC 2014. I have got some plans listed in the proposal, which can be found here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Xiaoxiangquan/UniversalLanguageSelector_Fonts_for_Chinese_wikis

And the announcement on Wikitech-l is at
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2014-March/075232.html

Any feedback is more than welcomed! Thanks in advance!

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Fonts_for_Chinese_wikis/final_post

Xiangquan Xiao's project was evaluated by his mentors as PASSED. Still, what is the status in reference to this report? FIXED or are we still missing something? If so, please document what is missing. Thank you for your work!
Comment 11 Xiangquan Xiao 2014-09-12 13:33:04 UTC
Actually it's far from production status, much like a conceptional project. As the demo[1] shows, it does work.

But there are still some problems to be addressed[2]. Some of them are just out of my knowledge, e.g. font manipulate. And I have no idea yet for some others, e.g. additional content loaded with AJAX.

My mentor agrees that there are still a lot of base work to do. I'll keep on, or at least keep responsive, and willing to mentor on future GSoC projects. (I myself has just graduated and start my career.)

BTW, I have ported the work to github[3], a simpler and universal solution.
