Hello, perhaps this would be a good moment to transfer Geohack to a regular mediawiki-extension on the main servers.
I hear this was also the plan of brion vibber before he go. Who we need to ask now for this?
Yes, moving to an extension seems the way to go.
I asked Brion on the Paris meeting and he said he'd have a look. But, I didn't hear anything back, so I assume he didn't.
wikimedia.org doesn't list an official CTO, so for the time being, I guess Tim Starling is the person to ask.
Yes.
Last time I had a long look at the code, the extension part seemed to be in good condition. One half is using it as a special page (just a wrapper around the current code calls), and getting the wiki template from the cache instead of the http rendering.
Which extension is it? http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/geo/ ?
Compatability might have deteriorated since then, though.
I don't know why but I have no access to geohack-scripts anymore. So I can't do anything.
I'm still travelling, and probably won't have both access and time to work on it until end of next week.
The first step should be to make the scripts available before moving to anything. Kolossos says he can't access geohack-scripts, https://fisheye.toolserver.org/browse/geohack shows an empty svn folder... (*ahem*, https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-187 )
