professional way to do versioning inside mediawiki.
Why not to use git inside?
Another my pb is working offline, writing readme guide of my linux
embedded setup.
I'd like to write it on my pc and than do git push to send to mediawiki server.
But git is good to do it, because I can manage merges.
It is possible to do it?
How much work can be estimated?
git tracks the repository. MediaWiki works on articles.
Also note, git is younger than MediaWiki :-)
git can work on mediawiki text, beacause is a plain text format.
mmm, maybe I'm forgetting asian utf8 or unicode encodings...
Yes, working offline is a problem. There have been talks from offline
section for fixing it on the longterm.
The solution for working offline by some people is to carry a mediawiki
on a usb stick.
mediawiki on usb stick is very nice to see your mediawiki document
rendered inside a browser.
but when I copy and paste it to the original server it can be a
problem to manage the merges of others modifications.
It could be nice to extend the history diff tool to a mediawiki text
that is present on the hard disk.
the diff tool could work as meld, letting me choose which modification
I want to pick from the mediawiki text present on the hard disk.
so:
work offline on usb mediawiki
go online
open diff-meld-like tool
choose what to get
save
beautiful!!
