Excellent!
First of all, we need a wiki and a datadump. Any
suggestions?
I'm sure Brion can set one up at either
test.mediawiki.org or
test.wikimedia.org up
fairly
quickly.
Furthermore, we need people to test this. Of course,
the people on
this list should be there, but that is the point where we would want
to open up the test more. Personally, I'd say that we spread the word
carefully.
Internal-l would be a great place to look for beta testers.
Finally, there is the question of what to test. The
implementation was
done in a more flexible way than in the original german proposal, to
allow for more tweaking to the needs of one community or the other.
However, a test is not so good of we do not test in the way it will be
turned on in the wiki. Therefore, I suggest either testing at first
only the simpler original functionality.
I agree - keep it simple at first and turn more stuff on if testing leads in that
direction.
