Database abstraction layer
by Evan Prodromou 01 Dec '04

Why did we write our own database abstraction layer when there's one already in PEAR? ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou <evan(a)wikitravel.org>

taking forever for MediaZilla registration e-mail to appear
by David Wendt 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

I've a question, I registered an account on MediaZilla, and for some reason the e-mail that has my password is... not appearing. Anywhere. I keep checking my POP server (yes I did put in the right address), but Thunderbird says there's nothing on the server. So, did the server forget about my registration or does it just take a long time?

REL1_4 branched
by Brion Vibber 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

I've created a REL1_4 branch in CVS. To update your existing HEAD working directory: cvs up -dP -r REL1_4 To pull a fresh copy (as a developer): cvs -d:ext:username@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/wikipedia \ co -r REL1_4 phase3 (If you're using Sourceforge's anonymous CVS server it may take a few hours before the update goes through there.) The release branch frees up CVS for more experimental code, while REL1_4 should now concentrate on getting what's already in there stable and working. We'll tag and release a few beta versions over the next couple of weeks, with a 1.4.0 final release when the main things are ironed out. If we make additional 'big' changes before release, they should be done in HEAD first. Bug fixes should naturally go both in REL1_4 *and* the head branch. As far as future scheduling: I would very much like us to start getting releases out on a faster schedule, each with tighter changes more concentrated on particular areas than the swamps we've done in the past. Aiming for 1.5 in February would be nice (~2 months from 1.4). We'll do some planning on future directions at the 21C3 conference in Berlin in late December. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

MultiHosting from single source
by Mark Constable 01 Dec '04

01 Dec '04

Hi all, I am wondering if there is any interest in some mods to enhance MediaWikis ability to be multi-hosted from a single core of code ? I've done this a few times now with phpBB2 and Wordpress and mostly have the "pattern" down on how to do it. I just spent an hour with MediaWiki and there are not too many changes involved. Is there any interest in this kind of thing and if so where is the best place to post the details... wiki, here ? --markc
