10.000 queries per day from MetaGer?
by Kurt Jansson 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

The biggest German meta-search engine MetaGer (http://meta.rrzn.uni-hannover.de) would like to have us integrated. There would be a switch which is set on *off* per default, so we'll get about 10.000 queries per day. (If it's set *on* per default we'll get about 200.000 queries per day.) I think atm neither is possible, but when the new server is up and running will we be able to handle the traffic? Kurt

meta:Development status
by Tim Starling 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

I've just created a new page on meta. It is: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_status From the intro: "This page is intended as a place where developers can write their intentions for future development, and maybe even coordinate with each other (however unlikely that may be). Also, it should describe the current state of the two CVS branches and the live copy." At the moment it's basically a personal to do list, but I'd be very happy if everyone else working on the PHP script also used it. It's similar to [[meta:Development tasks]] except it contains stuff that's actually going to happen in the forseeable future, and it says when it will happen. -- Tim Starling.

Daylight Savings Time
by Evan Prodromou 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

Daylight Savings Time ended in most of North America and Europe over this last weekend (Early in the morning on Sunday Oct 26, to be exact). It's worth noting that the Mediawiki software is not aware of daylight savings changes. I live in Montreal, and my offset was stuck at -4 until I went to Special:Preferences and did a "Fill in from Browser" to make it -5. I thought this would be worth noting. I wonder if using symbolic timezones (Eastern Time, Western European Time, etc.) would make this less of a problem. I also figure it's probably worthwhile to make a note somewhere on Mediawiki sites telling registered users to reset their offsets. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou <evan(a)wikitravel.org> Wikitravel - http://www.wikitravel.org/ The free, complete, up-to-date and reliable world-wide travel guide

Errors in PHP
by Pedram Messri 28 Oct '03

28 Oct '03

I just recently installed the wikimedia software by downloading the tarball listed on the site, and following the install steps. Which were to cp Localsettings.sample and Adminsettings.sample to the same name with a .php extension and editing The information, I had the database dump downloaded also (cur) and had the appropriate users put in. Once I ran the Install.php script it installed it in the proper directory. And once I went to my browser and loaded wiki.phtml I get the following Errors: [Tue Oct 28 02:57:03 2003] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET in /dir/path/wiki/OutputPage.php on line 402 [Tue Oct 28 02:57:04 2003] [error] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 9437224 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 51 bytes) in /dir/path/wiki/Language.php on line 1315

Re: Robot code _and_ Re: off-line editing...
by ray＠ganymede.org 27 Oct '03

I am curious why the note that I sent about this issue seemed to end the thread, with no follow-up. Has this kind of option been rejected in the past? This seems to be a fairly standard security/authentication issue and I believe that the technology I suggested is the kind of thing that would be fairly obvious. Am I wrong about something here? Just to add, with a authentication architecture, you could much more easily offer offline editing with subsequent re-integration of the content. Or am I swimming against the current here? thanx - ray Begin forwarded message: > From: ray(a)ganymede.org > Date: October 22, 2003 7:26:25 PM PDT > To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)Wikipedia.org> > Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Re: Robot code: open source or lock away in > safe? > Reply-To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)Wikipedia.org> > > > It occurs to me that we could require bots to use a protocol to > guarantee their accountability.
