ToDo
1. Enable links to external images to allow images hosted on an external website (e.g. the QR codes) to be displayed: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Linked_images#External_image_syntax
1.1 Less secure way: allow all images http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowExternalImages
1.2 more secure way: all images from this site: http://chart.apis.google.com/ http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAllowExternalImagesFrom
2. Add this the Extension to embed RSS feeds: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS
3. Identify a couple more projects in the hackspace + print trial QR labels for them.
4. Buy User:Robert a beer for improving the Project Template Code
What?
Projects
Attach printed-out QR codes to each project. That QR code will contain a link to the relevant project page on the wiki.
Equipment
Attach printed-out QR codes to each piece of equipment: usage log, datasheets, consumable (e.g. blades, drill bits) order codes / suppliers.
Where?
Project boxes and projects in the hackspace.
When?
Look on the noticeboard for a little bag of QR codes. Any project that was documented on the wiki's Projects on 4th August has been printed out.
Why?
This will facilitate collaboration as everyone can then find the most relevant wiki page for that project quickly.
Who?
Current project collaborators: samthetechie
How?
I will use the google charts API (credit to jonty for the recommend). That will generate the QR code images.
