Hello!
You are receiving this email because your project has been select to
take part in a new effort by the PHP QA Team to make sure that your
project still works with PHP versions to-be-released. With this we
hope to make sure that you are either aware of things that might
break, or to make sure we don't introduce any strange regressions.
With this effort we hope to build a better relation between the PHP
Team and the major projects.
If you do not want to receive these heads-up emails, please reply to
me personally and I will remove you from the list; but, we hope that
you want to actively help us making PHP a better and more stable tool.
The first release candidate of PHP 5.2.2 was just released and can be
downloaded from http://downloads.php.net/ilia/. This is a
stabilization release aimed at addressing outstanding bugs, with over
60 issues already solved in addition to focusing on improving the
security of the language. Majority of the bugs outlined in MOPB as
well as security issues discovered by an internal audit have been
resolved and their fixes are part of this release. Given the wide
scope of the changes performed, many aspects of the language were
affected, so we ask that everyone tries this RC against their code
base to make sure no regressions or bugs were introduced. Given that
this is a release with many security fixes we will try to move
quickly on getting it finalized and your timely feedback is critical
to make this possible. If you discover any (we hope not) please
notify PHP's QA team at "php-qa(a)lists.php.net".
In case you think that other projects should also receive this kinds
of emails, please let me know privately, and I will add them to the
list of projects to contact.
Best Regards,
Ilia Alshanetsky
5.2 Release Master

>Hi!
>Could you tell me, where can the localisation of special pages be done or

>For example in dewiki [[Spezial:Zuf%C3%A4llige_Seite]] works the same way as

>I remember, there was a page where one could translate the titles of the

>Do the special pages in huwik have a localised name?
Have a look at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special_page_names#hu If
you can confirm, that these translations are fine, a developer with
SVN access can insert them into the Hungarian language file
MessagesHu.php. If there are errors please correct them. Thanks in
advance.

Since creating the page on Meta a long while ago now, and alerting some
mailing lists of it, this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Ideal has now become rather
populated by ideas.
The page asks the question "What would MediaWiki be like if it generated
maximum wiki success?" (i.e. made the most users make the best
contributions?).
I have tried to structure the page, but it could really do with some
cleanup. I see it as an article, as I think it would be most useful for the
content to be edited and reworked into a readable body of coherent ideas.
If we could tidy the page before the meetings discussed by Erik Moeller in
his recent mailing list post, perhaps the document could be useful in their
MediaWiki 2.0 discussions? It is certainly rich with ideas.
Thanks,
Virgil.
This week, several education specialists will meet with wiki
technologists in Vancouver to discuss the future of MediaWiki as a
platform for learning & knowledge generation.
The meeting is organized by the Commonwealth of Learning, which hosts
the wikieducator.org project. You can find the agenda on:
http://wikieducator.org/Tectonic_shift_think_tank
It will take place from April 11-13. Participants include Brion Vibber
(Wikimedia Foundation CTO), Sandy Britain (lead developer of the eXe
elearning editor), Joel Thierstein (Executive Director of the
ConneXions project - cnx.org), Murugan Pal (technologist for CK-12,
ck12.org), Merrick Schaefer (technologist for UNICEF's wiki projects),
Samuel Klein (content coordinator for the One Laptop Per Child
Project, laptop.org), and others. The meeting will be facilitated by
myself and Wayne Mackintosh (founder of WikiEducator and education
specialist for COL).
We will think about issues such as:
* What are the best strategies for WYSIWYG editing, wiki
decentralization and synchronization, eLearning interfaces and
features, semantic annotation and structured data, print support,
quality heuristics?
* Should MediaWiki be rewritten from scratch to achieve these goals,
or is an evolutionary approach more sensible?
* What is a sensible model for governance, coordination, and funding
of a combined, multi-institutional MediaWiki 2.0 effort?
If you wish to participate remotely, you can still put in your request
on the above wiki page. I would also like to encourage you to draft a
"vision statement" and to link it under the section "Participants
wishlist". Such vision statements will be taken into account if they
are submitted before April 13 (ideally before April 11).
I apologize for the short notice - things have taken a rather more
ambitious shape than originally very quickly, due to recent meetings
and email exchanges. Still, I expect that this is only the first step
in opening a very serious discussion about the future of MediaWiki
that will involve all key stakeholders. I'd be happy to hear from you.

Peace & Love,
Erik

My organization (the Center for Media and Democracy) occasionally has
need of people with MediaWiki expertise to help with projects related
to our wiki (www.sourcewatch.org). These projects might include
writing or modifying MediaWiki extensions, advising our webmaster
about server/performance issues, helping make modifications to the
skin, etc. We don't currently have a project in the works, but I'm
trying to compile a list of qualified and interested programmers so
that we have some names on file when we need to hire a consultant. If
anyone here thinks you might be interested, please shoot me an email
at: sheldon(a)prwatch.org.

HTML Tidy has been upgraded on our servers, as of 04:40 UTC. We have had
reports that some wikitext relies on fixed tidy bugs, and is thus broken,
e.g. http://tinyurl.com/2orw8n . You can safely assume that we won't be
simulating any Tidy bugs in MediaWiki to compensate, so these changes are
here for good. If anyone can identify clearly broken behaviour in the new
Tidy, then we can arrange to have it fixed.

Just to announce a scratch of the page. If I did something which
exists, please let me know to delete the page.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bot_aid
A lot of small projects (or even WikiProjects on larger Wikimedian
projects) don't have people who are able to make bots. This page
intends to become a place for people who don't know to work with bots
-- to ask for help.

Thanks. I've added your information to our file and will contact you
if we have something. As I stated in my previous email, we don't have
any immediate work, but I expect that we will probably have some in
the future.
