(Call for Participation) Hello there,
The next SMWCon http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Spring_2011(Semantic MediaWiki Conference) is in 4 weeks. It offers tutorialshttp://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Spring_2011_-_Tutorialsas well as conference presentationshttp://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Spring_2011_-_Conference_Presentations .
We believe you'll be benefited a lot from attending the conference, whether you're a student, or a free-lance developer, or an enterprise architect. In the past SMWCons, the content was very broad, and we're striving to do the same this time. If you have a topic you want to share, please don't hesitate to put it on the wiki site too. We'll get the schedule out about 2 weeks before the start.
As of the cost, it's be heavily subsidized by our sponsors, and especially if you're a student, you basically learn and eat free during the conference:-). Check it out http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Spring_2011.
Best regards, Jesse

My fellow wiki and semantic wiki-ers,
It's my honor to announce the next International Semantic MediaWiki Conference - SMWCon Spring 2011 on April 28-30 in Arlington, VA, USA - Greater Washington DC area. This longest SMWCon will have a tutorial day for the first time, so we are calling for tutorial speakers as well as participants. Please note that if you're an expert on MediaWiki, you're very welcome to propose a tutorial (or be part of it).
For more information, please visit http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Spring_2011.
Cheers,
All,
I want to move my wiki to another server (and upgrade at the same time from 1.14 to 1.16.2). I simply need to make the old wiki readonly, while I move, upgrade and change the redirect URL - so I placed $wgReadOnly = 'Upgrading to MediaWiki 1.16.2'; In the localsettings.php file.
However, it doesn't stop me editing pages (I was hoping it would make the entire wiki read only !)
Any ideas why ?
Jon.

Probably because you have sufficient privileges to still write to the database, which is still writable. To set a MySQL database to read-only, do:
SET GLOBAL read_only = ON;
Don't forget to do SET GLOBAL read_only = OFF; to make it writable again.

I'm not the most experienced here but I assume $wgReadOnly would require a TRUE/FALSE argument rather than a text string.

No it takes a string so it can display the reason.
Did you try to save a page edit whilst read only was activated? Are you running a DBMS other than MySQL?
$wgReadOnly only needs a text string to enable it. My experience is that editing is still allowed but when you go to save you will get the $wgReadOnly string above the editor telling you that the wiki is readonly. I understand why that may be frustrating for some who spend time editing only to find the wiki is readonly for some period of time. But you also must consider that some people may be in the middle of editing when $wgReadOnly is set.
