You're invited to San Francisco's first MediaWiki hackathon, January
20-22, 2012.
If you're a developer or designer and want to build an application on
top of MediaWiki, or using Wikipedia content, please participate in our
hackathon in San Francisco (January 20-22 at pariSoma). We'll bring
together our senior coders with new developers to build applications
running in MediaWiki itself, on mobile devices, or based on Wikipedia's
content and data.
This is a free event put on by the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit
that runs Wikipedia and maintains MediaWiki. You'll get a brief overview
of all the key technologies you need, and then you'll have a weekend to
build something amazing and make it open source. At the end, show it off
and take the next step to get it running on our servers. Join us Friday
night for drinks and conversations, and get ready for a weekend of
coding. Food and drinks provided. :-)

We're hosting a Wikimedia and MediaWiki hackathon happening 14-16
October 2011 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/NOLA_Hackathon
If you extend, modify, or otherwise hack MediaWiki, then other
developers want to meet and collaborate with you. At the event,
MediaWiki developers and Wikimedia operations engineers
will be working on Wikimedia's gadgets/extensions/tools support,
authorization/authentication strategy, dev-ops virtualization, and
general training and hacking. And we'll improve and discuss the
Wikimedia Labs projects infrastructure
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WMF_Projects/Wikimedia_Labs
and other stuff that makes it easier for anyone to supercharge Wikimedia
with awesomeness.
The event is open to anyone who wants to come and contribute, and is an
opportunity to spend time with other MediaWiki developers & ops
engineers, write beautiful code, and learn about the latest
developments. We'll write code together, discuss the software, and hold
little workshops.
If you can make it to New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 14-16 October 2011,
we'd love to have you. Please add your name to the attendees list:

Thanks! Hope to see you there.

Am using the LDAP Authentication extension[1] on MediaWiki 1.14 against
Active Directory (2008 if it makes a difference).
I am looking to allow access to users in subdomains (LDAP referrals).
Anyone have this working? Anything I need to be concerned about other
than sAMAccountName collisions?

Hi,
on September 14th, the Halo team released SMW+ 1.5.6-1. It is a bugfix
release which contains a bunch of compatibility updates and bug fixes as
well as some feature improvements for release 1.5.6. We recommend the
update for all SMW+ users since the touch up affects core elements like
the WYSIWYG extension, the Ontology Browser and administration issues.
For example, the WYSIWYG extension in some cases showed errors when
switching between wikitext and Richtext mode. This led to unwillingly
deleting parts of the markup, producing broken text or - in case of long
articles - switching was not possible at all. Another fix is that
breadcrumbs are now free of duplicates and images can be provided
flawlessly with links to pages using the WYSIWYG extension.
Learn more about the latest SMW+ release at the official SMW+ 1.5.6-1
release information. [1]
Documentation for SMW+ and the Halo extension can be found as usual in our
help section. For downloading SMW+ or Halo please visit our new download
page. [2]
On behalf of the Halo team,
Christof

I,m cross posting here as this is an enterprise server setup.
I have a debian distro mediawiki v.1.15 site on one computer that I want to
move to another directory with the newer version mediawiki v.1.17 installed
and working from a tarball. Still on the same debian system. i created a new
database for the new mediawiki...I want to import/restore the database from
the old version to the new one.I exported the database from the old ver.
using phpmyadmin, no issue there. When I tried to import it to the new ver.
database it errored out saying the file was too big. Any ideas on how to do
this? I also have Webmin installed with access to all these same databases,
if that helps.
Thanks!
John
We arehappy to announce that release 1.5.6 of the Semantic Enterprise Wiki
SMW+ and the Halo extension is now available.
In this release we focused on pushing the full text search to be
"lightning fast" and to make the wiki administration accessible from
within SWM+. Also, a better workflow for page creation as well as tabular
forms notifications were implemented. Experts and developers are happy
about multi-ontology support and the consolidation of JavaScript libraries.

Hi guys,

The Bitnami packages are great for getting started with MediaWiki quickly. Yet when something goes wrong, you have a lot of learning to do, such as learning MySql administration.
I have a backup of the entire C:\Program Files\Bitnami WAMPStack\ containing the mysql bitnami_mediawiki database. Is there a way to import the old \mysql\data\bitnami_mantis\ folder into a new install of the Bitnami MediaWiki 1.16-2 module?
I confess that I messed up and did not make a MySql dump of the bitnami_mediawiki MySql backup. I thought a directory backup would be good enough. I tried copying the
bitnami_mediawiki database, restoring the original LocalSettings.ph, and running update.php but I get an exception when trying to create table interwiki as pasted below.
Thanks in advance for any direction,

Hello,
this is our first release announcement of SMW+ and Halo [1] on this
mailing list.
I think it could be of interest since we provide features that are
relevant for enterprise settings.
Halo is an extension based on the well known extension Semantic
MediaWiki [2] and aims at making it more intuitive and convenient to use.
I would like to announce that our release 1.5.1 of SMW+ and the Halo
extensions is available.
Feature highlights of this release are an overhauled Query Interface,
rule management functionality, and the support of LDAP in the access
control.
The detailed improvements are described in the corresponding release
notes:
http://wiki.ontoprise.com/smwforum/index.php/Features/SMW%2B_release_1.5.1
General information and manuals on SMW+ and the Halo extensions can be
found on our website: http://wiki.ontoprise.com .
For downloading SMW+ or Halo please visit

best regards,
Philipp

Can someone tell me if mediawiki permits you to use an alternative
authentication scheme?
I would like to base wiki membership and roles for users and groups
on membership information already contained in our intranet portal.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
