DRAFT: Single login poll
by erik_moeller＠gmx.de 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

On the basis of my earlier foundation-l message, I've created a draft poll for the single login strategy issue: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Single_login_poll Please feel free to improve it or suggest changes on the talk page. I would like to avoid adding more than the listed 3 strategies unless there are volunteers willing to implement them. Regards, Erik

I noticed that emails send to the mailing lists the last days sometimes takes several hours to arrive. This is not a complaint, only a notice. Greetings, Walter Vermeir

ANN: editarticle.py 0.1
by Gerrit 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hello, I hate to use the browser editor when editing the article. I hate it to cut 'n' paste into vim, because of line numbers, line breaks, buffer size, etc. So I created editarticle.py. It currently runs from the commandline and is able to do only anonymous edits. It requires pywikipediabot (latest CVS) and is included with it. It should become available at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pywikipediabot/pywikipedia/ as soon as Sourceforge got it. It's also temporarily mirrored at http://topjaklont.student.utwente.nl/creaties/editarticle.py The current version is 0.1. regards, Gerrit Holl. -- Weather in Twenthe, Netherlands 10/11 22:25: 4.0°C wind 1.3 m/s None (57 m above NAP) -- In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. -Dwight David Eisenhower, January 17, 1961

Uebersetzungsproblem in Deutsch bzw. kleingeschriebene Woerter
by Raul Mircea Gigea 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hallo, Ich habe die 1.3.7 version von MediaWiki von Sourceforge installiert, und es auf Deutsch configuriert. Beim ersten Lauf vom Browser treten folgende Probleme auf: 1. Alle tabs(Navigationselemente) sind kleingeschrieben (d.h. "einstellungen" statt "Einstellungen" usw). 2. Die Tooltips dafuer (z.b. Der Tooltip bei "einstellungen" lautet "My preferences") 3. Das WikiPedia-Portal Link wurde nicht in <site name>-Portal Link ersetzt, wobei 3 eigentlich nicht so wichtig ist. Ist das so gewollt , oder wurde es bloS nicht behandelt. Ich frage, weil die deutsche Version von Wikipedia die obig genannten Fehler _nicht_ hat. Gibt es vielleicht einen "Patch" fur die Deutsche Version, weil ich mein Wiki immer up-to-date erhalten will, also wenn es eine neue Version gibt, und vielleicht neue tabs hinzugefuegt werden, oder die Struktur der Languages.php files veraendert wird, so kann ich nicht immer es "manuell" patch-en. Vielen Dank, Raul.

Future of mediawiki is tied to wikipedia ?
by vic 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Hi ... I would like to know if the development lines of mediawiki will be extensively tied (or slown down) because of wikipedia ... The reason of my question, is that i am recently reading the mailing list , and show that developers and contributions are allways extensily closed to wikipedia requirements, not open to new ideas beyond enciclopedias. A general use wiki with mediawiki engine would be great, ( i am using it to developments documentation) ... but it lacks features like authentication and email notifications (i know the 1.4 plans on this features), that i think are being slown down by the WIKIPEDIA ... What is your oppinion ??? Another branch of mediawiki with general features would be great. regards -- Problems with Windows - Reboot. Problems with Linux - Be root.

going for 1.4
by Ashar Voultoiz 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

[Originally posted in mediawiki-l but didn't get any answer] Hello, Mail is probably mostly intended for brion and tim as well as other developers. It looks like our .plan is to get 1.4 by the end of the year. I believe we should call for a "feature freeze" soon and launch the beta at the beginning of december. Given that most dev will probably be out during the last weeks of december that will let us until ~ december 20th to fix the most important bugs. Then in January we can work toward the release candidate / 1.4.0. There is two huge patch as far as I know: - Enotif : bring email notification in MediaWiki _ Database schema change. Enotif can probably be commited by the end of november and be shipped in the first 1.4 beta. Database schema changes is probably too much work yet (note: I didn't have a look at SCHEMA branche). In conclusion: November: * add Enotif * try to update languages files December: * launch beta * fix major bugs reported * happy xmas January: * Release candidate (1.4.0) Then we can work on having plugins and schema changes. [add: Do you agree on such a plan ? Is there already a plan I am not aware of ? Should we call for a feature freeze right now ? Could an alpha version help track the most important bugs ? ] -- Ashar Voultoiz - WP++++ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hashar

Special:UserLogin
by peter 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

I will start by admitting that I am new to Wikimedia but very much impressed by this piece of software. I am working a small community that consists of three parts that very much do not work together, even so I have taken on the task to bring PHPBB, Coppermine and Wikimedia together under one shared login. I've managed to merge the user-databases together into one for all three and Coppermine and PHPBB can share login session, which leaves me to Wikimedia. So my question is, how can I hack the login? I can consider doing something strange like created a separate loginform and post to a page which in turn posts to two different pages, the PHPBB login and Wikimedia login. I've realised that Wikimedia has a class for the login handling but I have not yet figured out how I can use it. My thougt is that I can use this login-class on the login-page of PHPBB and validate login there, which actually would be two different logins, but be both should be done in the click of one button. Since username and password are shared I can use only the validation from PHPBB and only create the login-sessino and wikimedia, and of course, do a similiar action when logging out. How do I use the userlogin-class for this purpose? Is it even possible? Regards, Peter Andersson peter(a)wa.se http://wa.se

How to: CVS/diff (including the diff of a new local file, not existing in CVS)
by Thomas Gries 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

A new module I have written was not expressly included in the diff file I have uploaded to bugzilla. That file is called /maintenance/archives/patch-email-notification.sql and was my first bugzilla upload. Brion suggested to use the option -N. However, this does not work. Here is the full command I use now, but this does not include the code of my local new file in the diff file: phase3> cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wikipedia -z3 diff -N -u -b > myfiles_against_cvs14.diff Can you please help me, how to modify the above command, so that the (full) code of my new file is inlcuded in that myfiles_against_cvs14.diff file ?

web traffic stats

Webalizer statistics on http://en.wikipedia.org/stats/ haven't been updated since October 18th. This is a tragedy. It's been shaky since September 23rd, but July and August were fine. What's wrong? Can anybody fix it? -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se
