I just uploaded the current version of my PHP script to the Nupedia CVS repository. Jason is currently a little busy, so I though it can't do any harm. It's at the "php.wikipedia" directory. It's not working, Jason will have to copy it to the "real" site and set some password for database access.
This version already includes full namespace support as I described it. Some security has been added : - Users without special privileges ("normal" users) can edit only pages in the namespaces ":" (blank; the normal wikipedia space), "user:", "talk:", and "wiki:" - Operators can edit articles in any EXISTING namespace - Sysops can also add new namespaces
So, we can have a "stable:" or "current:" namespace, or a "2001:", "2002:" and "2003:", or "2001-09", or "2002-May", or all together, for our annual versions. Simple as that :)
Just for clarification : - Sysops can give users sysop and/or operator rights - Operators can give users operator rights - As initial sysops, I'd suggest Larry and Jimbo for the contents part, as well as Jason, Toan and myself for the technical part...
