You are just wrong. And this wrong judgment is really annoying. Use knoppix bootable linux. http://knoppix.net it comes with all the tools you'll need for all the conversions you can dream of except svg. and for all the potential systems that are bound to be encountered in non-net enabled areas. And thats pretty much it. And for mentioning a low level language like C++ please meditate for a few weeks until the wrong is no longer in you. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: [Wikitech-l] Videos in Wikipedia?
by John Dehlin 24 May '04

24 May '04

One more question.... Have you considered providing your entries as web services, such that other web sites can "consume" the web services, and utilize the content via XML within their own sites? Imagine, for example, a Mormon History site, that wants to keep people in their site, but would rather use the information from your site (giving proper credit of course). Thanks for he info!

It's possible to upload short video files to the wiki and link to them, but we don't have support for inline (embedded) video, and we've got a strict upload size limit.

Creeping 2.6 upgrades
by Brion Vibber 24 May '04

24 May '04

Moreri has been doing this super-high-load thing for a while. Having nothing to lose, I've upgraded it to 2.6. Before: up 18 days, 23:42, 1 user, load average: 48.34, 74.74, 100.16 After: up 25 min, 2 users, load average: 1.08, 1.36, 0.86 :) It's running 2.6.6-1.376smp, from rawhide packages. I don't forsee any real problems, so will probably upgrade the rest of the web boxes like we have the others soon. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

mediawiki 1,3
by Anthere 24 May '04

24 May '04

Hi, I know it is a lot of work and stress for some of you, so I hardly dare asking this. Wikipedia will be presented (with a demo of the website), on tuesday, during a meeting in Lyon. It will likely be tuesday morning or beginning of afternoon, France time. Please, do the best you can so that at least either the french (preferably) or the english wikipedia works at that time, so that we can show a successful website, rather than a non accessible one. Thanks in advance Ant

request about raid setup for the new db server
by Camille Constans 23 May '04

23 May '04

Hello, I would like request to set the new db server with raid10. According to : http://www.sql-server-performance.com/fixing_bottlenecks.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/optimsql/o… http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid5_gci903958… http://archive.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/bangbuck/bangbuck.php http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/power/en/ps3q99_raid?c=u… And LiveJournal seem to use raid 10 too. When Geoffrin was working, with the raid10. It was very fast. And with search enabled ! I really think raid10 would be the best configuration to use. As there is 6 x 73 GB drive, we could have have ~ 220GB of space. Which would let us quiet for some time. Shaihulud

referencing PG books
by Karl Eichwalder 23 May '04

23 May '04

The Project Gutenberg recently put a new directory system in place. Now it is possible to reference their books easily and I propose to go for it. As for ISBN invent a "tag" (proposal: PGNO = Project Gutenberg No) and teach the parser to decode the number. Eplanation from the GUTINDEX.ALL file: The path is also based on the etext number, and is made up of single digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. So, if you know the number, you know exactly where to find the eBook! The path for our example, 10010.txt, would be /1/0/0/1/10010/. Of course, the address of the download site would have to be prepended to the path; if the main PG site was being used, the full URL, including the filename, would be: http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.txt The zip file of the above would be: http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip Using the ftp site at iBiblio to obtain the zip: ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/10010.zip And you can see all the available files for #10010 at http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010 As you can see, the first 4 digits are used as (sub)directory names; then the entire number is used as the final directory where all the formats of the book are to be found; convert "PGNO 10010" to: <a href="http://ibiblio.org/gutenberg/1/0/0/1/10010/">Project Gutenberg No 10010</a> -- | ,__o | _-\_<, http://www.gnu.franken.de/ke/ | (*)/'(*)
