If you check out the wikivideo-l and commons lists for some recent example YouTube to commons scripts. I know this is not super useful info right this second, but there is hope on the horizon.
How's Timed Media Handler (which will also allow WebM/VP8) going? ETA?

Hi,
For Wikimedia Incubator, a list of ISO 639-1/3 language codes would be
useful. I generated a PHP array based on
<http://sil.org/iso639-3/iso-639-3_20110525.tab>, and I wanted to make
an extension of that (which would be enabled on Incubator). FYI: the
array contains 7706 ISO 639-3 codes, besides the ISO 639-1 codes.
Now, such a list already ships with the Babel extension, and I don't
like duplication so I was thinking, maybe it could be added to core?
Besides these two extensions, it could provide language names for
{{#language}} which only works for languages known in MediaWiki's
Names.php (unless CLDR extension is enabled and the second parameter
is used).
Actually CLDR is incomplete itself and our CLDR extension has extra
languages names that we added to the extension (which makes a third
extension that could benefit of this).
And maybe there are more use cases...
What do you think?

SPQRobin
Hey wikitech-l,
I finally got around to reading the August engineering report, which, as
ever, is a very useful read. However, one item did stick out to me:
[Visual editor] Ian Baker
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Raindrift> investigated
and started to work on a chat system to be integrated to the concurrent
editing interface, for collaboration and live help.
On the one hand, this seems like a potentially useful feature. On the other,
it sounds like a very controversial feature that will present new
opportunities for spam, not to mention working out a way that help can be
provided uniformly across the board.
I'd really like to read more about this project and I'm sure others would
too, but my searches thus far have been in vain. Where should I be looking?
Thanks,
Harry (User:Jarry1250)

Well gosh why don't they say what is Recommended for modern browsers?
What if you went to a restaurant and one dish was called "Recommended

Am I right in my guess that while loading data tables from serialized
files is faster than interpreting them in PHP, the situation is reversed
in HipHop where tables can be precompiled?

We have "Add HTML Meta and Title" extension installed. (
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Add_HTML_Meta_and_Title). We can
easily "ADD" tags, but we don't see a method for removing them, or even
modifying them. I don't even know where the information we add is being kept
(Though i am sure its probably in the database, i have looked, and fear it
might be kept in the "BLOB" blocks, and i have no idea how to vew/modify
those fields, or if i would even want to. Someone mind looking at this
extension and helping me understand where the data is kept, or how to
remove/modify what the extension does to a page? What is completely
confusing is that the Extension lets you use the Page Editor (i don't know
the proper name) where the content of the page is created to add, using some
special formatting. But once you save, the text you enter disappears, so you
can't change it.
As the result of my FIXME reminder, Diebuche let me know that he is on
vacation and probably won't have time to address his FIXMEs in the
immediate future.
Since FIXMEs need not be fixed by the original committer, I'm asking for
some help. Look over the following revisions and see if you can fix
them.

Yaron also asked for some help addressing the FIXME he'd been given on
r91976 which was the revision that he used to commit the Asirra module for
ConfirmEdit that User:Bachsau had written.
Looking at User:Bachsau's talk page, it looks like he is frustrated and
doesn't have much time to work on it, either.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/91976: New "Asirra"
module, from the Asirra extension by Bachsau
Any help on these five FIXMEs would be appreciated.
Mark.
Treat the concurrent session as a single revision and the combined work product of all participating editors.

There's a concurrent editing interface? Where is it (intended to be)
used? It would never work for Wikipedia. The lack of a clear revision
history and identifiable authors would be a big problem. It would also
interfere with collaboration between people that aren't online at the
same time (imagine three people are active on an article, two of which
are online at the same time and so use the concurrent interface, how
does the third person get involved?).
