by Maria Miteva 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

Hi everyone. As per the conversation below, I am working on setting up a presentation of BlueSpice by Richard Heigl from Hallo Welt!, which is a free open-source MW enterprise distribution. Richard will present soem BlueSpice features and how people can reuse them. Please fill out the doodle below BY THE END OF THE WEEK if you are willing to participate. I have tried to accomodate the widest range of time zones in the given choices. I will do my best to post a video for those unable to attend. http://doodle.com/tvty9fymwk65fdf8 Also, if you are willing to present something you have developed internally as well, please contact me and I can help with the organization. It would be great to have as many of these presentation as possible. Thank you.

Gerrit 2.6 - coming to a server near you
by Chad 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Hi, After much delay, Gerrit 2.6 will be coming to our servers. This release brings a *lot* of really cool features and fixes, but I'd like to outline a couple of the major ones: * A stable, documented RESTful api * Plugin support: ** We'll be replacing Gitweb with Gitblit once the initial dust of the upgrade settles ** We've got a plugin to let us delete projects ** We're working on plugins for renaming projects, as well as providing some Bugzilla integration * IE9 & IE10 are now supported * The code formatter got some updates, which should solve some of the ArrayIndexOutOfBounds errors you saw in some diffs. * Ability to leave comments on a whole file (instead of just a line in a file) * Search suggestions * More unicorns! We're planning to do this on 1:00-2:00UTC on February 12th (that's 17:00-18:00 PST on February 11th) -- that's one week from today. -Chad

Special Characters
by Steve VanSlyck 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Any proofreaders here? I am having a little trouble finding a triple-underscore, which is used in proofreading to indicate that a letter should be capitlized. I would also like to know if there is some way to have a letter appear with an over printed slash ( / ), which is used in proofreading to indicate that a letter should be lower cased. Halp?

Fwd: Bootstrap based theme for Mediawiki
by Yuvi Panda 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Forwarding, since I guess many non-wikimedia users of mediawiki will be very happy to see this ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yuvi Panda <yuvipanda(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Feb 9, 2013 at 3:07 AM Subject: Bootstrap based theme for Mediawiki To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> https://github.com/OSAS/strapping-mediawiki looks pretty awesome! (Example at http://www.ovirt.org/Home). This also makes bootstrap's classes / layouting helpers available to content inside the wiki itself, which is pretty cool.

Wiki links attempt to serve me PHP files
by Steve VanSlyck 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Sometimes when I click a link on my wiki, I am served a PHP file dialog (Open, Save, Save As...) instead of a web page. Any idea what might be causing this?

MediaWiki API at Codecademy
by Roy Bellingan 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Hay. I've read about the proposal to "rework" the documentation about the API on the mailing list. I think that write some technical documentation, is a very good opportunity to "enter" such a big ecosystem like the Wikimedia one... But I'm quite novice in this subject, Yuri Astrakhan how can I help ? -- Roy Bellingan admin(a)seisho.us

Sidebar TOOLBOX section not working
by Al Johnson 10 Feb '13

10 Feb '13

Using MW 1.20.2, I've edited the TOOLBOX heading in MediaWiki:Sidebar with no effect whatsoever in the Vector skin or other skins. Is there a setting needed to enable this? Placing common links to test like this: * TOOLBOX ** mainpage|mainpage-description ** Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes does not modify the Toolbox links at all. Thanks, Al

How do I get my image to appear at the top right of the page, such as where an infobox would appear on Wikipedia?

Visibility for Third-Party Users on MW.org - How much is acceptable?
by Mariya Nedelcheva Miteva 08 Feb '13

08 Feb '13

Hi everyone, As I have been talking to third-party MW users quite a lot recently, I notice that one of the major issues they are facing is the lack of visibility on MW.org. I have seen some previous work like that has been reverted because WMF does not want to endorse any external parties on mw.org. However, at the same time I see some pages featuring such users such as http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_testimonials and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_with_BitNami. So my question here is how much is acceptable? I think it would be helpful for both the third-party community and for MW itself to give third-party users more visibility. It will help third-party users know about each other and support each other, get more involved with the community and possibly attract more business. At the same time having some success stories visible is likely to attract more MediaWiki users, while a thriving and engaged third-party community is likely to bring more innovation to the software itself. I have been working on some lists of wiki farms, consultants, developers, hosting companies and interesting installations for my internship, which you can see here. However, I am wondering if I could give the lists a little more visibility with a disclaimer on top that WMF does not in any way endorse the listed companies and guarantee for the quality of their service. Also, I think updating and revitalizing the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_testimonials page is a good idea. Another way to give some users visibility is having featured projects of the month or something like that, which would require someone's consistent involvement, however. How much do you think is acceptable? Mariya
