Maps and Semantic Maps 0.5 released
by jeroen De Dauw 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hey, I'd like to announce the latest release of Maps [0] and Semantic Maps [1]. These new versions include a bunch of new features, as well as a lot improvements to the code itself. Some highlights: * Strict parameter validation which allows you to get specific errors or warnings when entering invalid values or parameters. This functionality is obtained by relying on the Validator [2] extension, which saw it’s first release today. This makes Maps dependent on Validator. Every distribution of Maps does include Validator, and Maps will automatically load Validator when it’s not loaded yet, so no extra installation work is required (unless you get the code from SVN). * Static map support makes you able to display maps as plain images instead of via a JavaScript (or other non-html language, for example flash) mapping API. This is very important since it makes viewing the maps possible for people who are browsing the web with a browser that does not support JavaScript (or this other language), or simply have it disabled for some reason. * Added support for GUI parameter selection of Yaron’s new version of SMW’s Special:Ask page to the query printers. * Moved the geographical coordinate data type handling from Semantic MediaWiki to Semantic Maps. For a complete list of changes, see the relevant change logs [3], or my blog post about this release [4]. I created some new documentation, in the form of 2 screencasts; one demonstrating the use of display_map [5], and one covering display_point(s) [6]. The developer documentation on how to extend Maps has also been completely rewritten. To ensure maximum stability, I encourage everyone using Maps or Semantic Maps to update as soon as possible. If you have any suggestions, or find any bugs, let me know!

Code contributions in open and closed source software projects
by Dirk Riehle 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hello everyone, we are undertaking a study on how developers contribute to both open and closed source software projects. Please help this research by taking this short 10 (+3) question survey! http://osr.cs.fau.de/surveys/index.php?sid=16947&lang=en We will of course publish the results of this study and if you leave your email address, you can get the results early. A bit more information for those interested: We are trying to assess the code contribution distribution, that is, how much code and how frequently people check-in. More importantly, what they think how they contribute. The answers are expected to vary, hence the notion of “distribution”. Better understanding code contribution behavior will help us build better software development tools. Thanks a lot!

Welcome to mediawiki-l (weekly posting)
by river＠nightshade.toolserver.org 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Welcome to mediawiki-l. This mailing list exists for discussion and questions about the MediaWiki software[0]. Important MediaWiki-related announcements (such as new versions) are also posted to this list. Other resources. If you only wish to receive announcements, you should subscribe to mediawiki-announce[1] instead. MediaWiki development discussion, and all Wikimedia technical questions, should be directed to the wikitech-l[2] mailing list. Several other MediaWiki-related lists exist: - mediawiki-api[5] for API discussions, - mediawiki-enterprise[6] for discussion of MediaWiki in the enterprise, - mediawiki-cvs[7] for notification of commits to the Subversion repository, - mediawiki-i18n[8] for discussion of MediaWiki internationalisation support, - wikibugs-l[9] for notification of changes to the bug tracker. List administrivia (unsubscribing, list archives). To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit [12]. Archives of previous postings can be found at [3]. This list is also gatewayed to the Gmane NNTP server[4], which you can use to read and post to the list. Posting to the list. Before posting to this list, please read the MediaWiki FAQ[10]. Many common questions are answered here. You may also search the list archives to see if your question has been asked before. Please try to ask your question in a way that enables people to answer you. Provide all relevant details, explain your problem clearly, etc. You may wish to read [13], which explains how to ask questions well. To post to the list, send mail to <mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>. This is a public list, so you should not include confidential information in mails you send. When replying to an existing thread, use the "Reply" or "Followup" feature of your mail client, so that clients that understand threading can sort your message properly. When quoting other messages, please use the "inline" quoting style[11], for clarity. When creating a new thread, do not reply to an existing message and change the subject. This will confuse peoples' mail readers, and will result in fewer people reading your mail. Instead, compose a new message for your post. Messages posted to the list have the "Reply-To" header set to the mailing list, which means that by default, replies will go to the entire list. If you are posting a reply which is only interesting to the original poster, and not the list in general, you should change the reply to only go to that person. This avoids cluttering the list with irrelevant traffic. About this message. This message is posted to the list once per week by <river(a)wikimedia.org>.

dumpBackup.php with postgres DB
by Mike 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

I'm new to MediaWiki and tried the dumpBackup.php on a WAPP stack install. I've set AdminSettings.php user and password to match those in LocalSettings.php as described in the manual. I receive the following error when executing the script: DB connection error: Postgres functions missing, have you compiled PHP with the --with-pgsql option? MediaWiki was installed with compiling and source; strictly dropping its source php and running the install scripts from html. Is this a well-known installation error? The MediaWiki is operating as expected from the html server. Thanks for any pointers.

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Any ETA on 1.16?
by Steve VanSlyck 17 Dec '09

Might one innocently assume, without fear of a nasty surprize later, that before 1.16 is released all of the maintenance scripts will be tested and confirmed to work as advertized? ----- Original Message ----- > From: Chad > Real Soon Now ;-) > > Actually, Tim's expressed an interest in getting 1.16 out > the door. The JS2 branch was de-merged, lots more > code review going on, lots of "cleanup" commits too.
