I see that this branch is a little out of date, and didn't get any
word from anyone maintaining it on the discussion page (thanks to Roan
for the reply and info), and I wasn't sure where to ask other than
here. Is there any change we can get it synced? I'd be willing to
volunteer to help maintain and develop on it as I have some interest
in getting editing working as well. Thanks guys and gals!

Hi.
I am watching this list for a couple of months now, and this is the answer every time.
Does anyone know an estimate on when this will work? I see it as a pretty important feature, which should be taken into consideration... :)
Thanks!

I've been tinkering with pieces of ApiMain to attack the login through
POST variables issue, and I think I have a patch for it. But, being
new to shared development like this, I've never submitted anything
before. How can I submit a patch? I'm sure just committing the new
files is a bad idea, and I probably don't have permission to do that
anyway. Is anyone willing to do a code test on their part to make sure
it works? Of course I tested it on my end, but the more eyes, the
better. Please let me know how I should submit. Thanks.

On IRC, Carl Fürstenberg (AzaTht) pointed out that for cmcategory, the
Category: namespace prefix is implicit (i.e. for [[Category:People]],
you'd use cmcategory=People), while this is not the case for imageinfo
and imageusage the Image: namespace is not implied
(iutitle=Image:Dog.jpg). For consistency's sake (and to make copying
titles from other request easier), Carl suggested categorymembers be
changed to explicitly require the Category: namespace prefix. Since this
would be a breaking change, however, I'm suggesting this here first and
asking for your input on whether we should do this.

I'm trying to log in against the Vodafone branch on a dev server
through the API, and I had a (probably) silly question. The API loads
LocalSettings.php, correct? I ask because we're using the
LdapAuthentication extension, which works as expected through the
browser, but the API throws an error that it couldn't throw if it had
all the settings. So, probably a dumb question, but at some point it
loads, correct?
I've been lurking on the mailing list for a while, and I'd like to
contribute to API development. I'm not new to PHP programming or
MediaWiki, but I am new to SVN, and I'm having trouble checking out
the source to start playing with it. I apologize greatly for such a
question on the list, but is there a doc about accessing MediaWiki's
svn server I can scan somewhere? Or, just the address to access the
server? I've used ViewVC to look at the branches and trunk, but when I
copy and paste that address to TortoiseSVN, I get the following error.
Thanks for the help, and I look forward to contributing!

I know that I can find what categories a page is in using api.php?
action=query&titles=Pagename&prop=categories
but how do I get all the pages that have are members of a particular
category? I'm guessing the format would be something like
api.php?action=query&titles=Category:Foo&property=SOMEPROPERTY,
assuming it's implemented.
Thanks,
Timothy
