Greetings!

Reminder about the MediaWiki Workshops for developers (volunteer and staff): Preparing extensions for MediaWiki 1.19 being held on 13 January, 2012 at 19:00 UTC in IRC (#wikimedia-dev).

This IRC workshop will be an opportunity to find out about changes in MediaWiki 1.19 that may require revisions to extensions or skins. Also an opportunity to ask MediaWiki developers questions regarding extension development.

Everyone is invited to attend. Developers interested in serving as "extensions" or "MediaWiki 1.19" experts are encouraged to signup as participants at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Extensions/MediaWiki_Works...

More information: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Extensions/MediaWiki_Works...

MediaWiki.org's WikiProject SysAdmins will also likely host similar MediaWiki Workshops to help third-party wiki system administrators. Stay tuned for more information, and chime in at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_SysAdmins/Ideas

Look forward to seeing folks! Please feel free to forward this along to any interested folks.
