Hi!
Slightly late, but I still want to announce the transition of Mediawiki4Intranet to 1.21 MW branch, happened 2014-01-14 (2014-01-31 for 1.21.5).
For those who aren't familiar with Mediawiki4Intranet (most people aren't I think :)) -- it's a MediaWiki distribution suited for corporate («intranet») usage. It was created just as a bundle that we use in our company; it includes 89 extensions, patched core and some maintenance tools and configs.
Notable features available in the basic configuration are:
* Media features: PDF, TIFF, Dia, FLV/MP4, MP3, FreeMind/FreePlane mindmaps, LaTeX, Graphviz, Gnuplot, UMLGraph, UMLet, PlantUML; SVG rendering of Dia, LaTeX, Graphviz, Gnuplot; JavaScript editor for uploaded SVG files (SVGEdit); * Wiki-anything: Wiki-blogs, Wiki-forums, Wiki-polls, Wiki-quizzes, Wiki-presentations and even Wiki-bookmarks :) * Built-in permission system (IntraACL); * Versioning features: Duplicator, PageSnapshots, massively improved import/export engine; * Screenshort upload (SupaMW); batch file upload (SWFUpload); Sphinx search; TikaMW for indexing binary (msword, etc) file contents; * Editing experience: WikiEditor, wikEd, wikifikator (mainly for russian), autocomplete for page links and templates, in-place editing of page sections, SimpleTable; * Optimized SemanticMediaWiki; * Many other features and parser extensions.
Mediawiki4Intranet is a «rolling-release»; it can be installed from a tarball or using repo.php script for updatable deployment (faster than git submodules or composer, allows simple creation of «derived» distributions).
Installation instructions are here: https://github.com/mediawiki4intranet/configs and here: http://wiki.4intra.net/Mediawiki4Intranet
Also I would appreciate any feedback and/or assistance in adding new features to the distribution and/or help on "upstreaming" any patches, for example the big import/export one; of course, if anyone is interested :-).
Hello,
sounds interesting. What is an "Optimized SemanticMediaWiki"?
regards, Bernhard

Nice to see that Wiki4Intra now includes SMW! I'm also curious about your semantic optimizations, it seems that the list is here: http://wiki.4intra.net/SemanticMediaWiki . What do you think about proposing them to SMW upstream? ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

sounds interesting. What is an "Optimized SemanticMediaWiki"?
There's a "query optimizer" patch that a) makes identical subqueries to be executed only once (for example, in <q>a OR b</q> <q>c OR d <q>a OR b</q></q> the «a OR b» part will be executed once) b) and makes identical terms to be removed from conjunctions/disjunctions («a AND a», «a OR a» == just a).
There also exist other patches (copy-paste from wiki.4intra.net page):
* Conjunction-of-disjunctions execution bug fixed: in the original SMW, «(a OR b) AND (c OR d)» query was not executed at all! (test case: {{#ask: <q>[[A::B]] OR [[C::D]]</q> <q>[[E::F]] OR [[G::H]]</q> | format=debug }}). Patch sent to github: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/19 * Negation operator support: syntax is {{#ask: [[prop::val]] !<q>...subquery...</q> }} or just {{#ask: [[prop::val]] ![[prop2::val2]] }}. Patch sent to github: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/20 * Disable forced type-named properties: in the original SMW, data type aliases also have an unpleasant side-effect: if a property name matches the alias of some data type (for example «Telephone number») — the property will have that data type forced and you cannot override it. Patch sent to github: https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticMediaWiki/pull/21 * Automatic refresh of all pages with semantic queries on any property update — in the original SMW you have to manually refresh it every time. Of course this can lead to frequent cache flushes — even the queries that don’t use the updated property are flushed — but at least the user always gets correct query results.
And also there are read permission checks implemented in {{#ask}} results.

I've posted some pull requests on github (#19, #20, #21), #21 is the simplest of them ("disable forced type-named properties") :) but there are some concerns: 1) As usual with MediaWiki, code review seems a hard and long process to me, i.e. it's definitely possible, but it takes a lot of time and makes me upset, so I don't feel too much desire of doing it :( 2) It seems SMW got some big refactoring with DI/IoC stuff everywhere in 1.9/master (for unit tests bla-bla-bla...), so the patches should be also refactored before being submitted... 3) Automatic refresh works, but in fact it's more of a quick fix than a properly designed feature, so I think I won't even submit it...
