migration guide - Wikitech-l

1 Mar 2012

Hi !

I thank you all everybody for your nice job, mediawiki is a great platform.

However, as you may know, we are some people to develop , contribute to
some extensions, and every time I migrate my wiki setup to a new
version, that looks like a nightmare !!! (mostly for the last 1.18.1).

I have either to upgrade extensions or dive into php code to make it
running with the new mediawiki release.

But this time, with 1.18.1 I am worried, because I do not have an in
deep knowledge of the mediawiki process.

So, the next time, a release is delivered, please provide with it a
migration guide for extensions !!!!! This will permit every developer to
maintain in a fast and efficient way, most extensions !! And since we
are all very good developers, I am pretty sure some people will be able
to provide a helpful migrating utility (when only function name changes
apply) ....

Today, I am not able to participate or migrate the CKeditor to the
1.18.1 Release .

Regards .
