I get it. You are a MS hater and that is cool.
I am not that fond of
them either which is why we use OpenOffice in our business and on my
systems at home. But the simple fact is that there are millions of
users. Some of them are clients.
No, it's true - Microsoft are known to keep changing their proprietary
formats, and it is fair to state that this interferes with anybody
trying to interpret them for any purpose, legitimate or otherwise.
Of course right now it doesn't really matter
as the only TYPE is IMAGE
and MW doesn't appear to be able to search on it (which makes sense if
the only type I wanted to store was IMAGE.
David, from what I gather, you keep stating that we can't "search on
(images)" but you haven't said what you'd actually like the software
to be able to do. It may be possible to add some sort of extensible
mechanism for MediaWiki to be able to index uploads in some fashion;
if that's what you want, then endorse it.
All I can see is a bunch of "MediaWiki can't even do this, it sucks"
type comments from various quarters, none of which are making the
problem clear enough for us to understand.
