I hacked a little C++ utility (hereby under GPL, source files attached)
that converts HTML to wiki markup. A few points:
* It should compile on any Windows/*nix system (you might have to turn
off warnings, though)
* Pipe the HMTL in, and get wiki markup out
* Shouldn't touch existing wiki markup
* Keeps HTML if there's no wiki markup defined for it
* Other wiki markup (for other wikis) can be added with only a few lines
of source
* Internally uses a new string class with 32-bit-chars (potential for
unicode there, also it should work with unicode "as is")
Downsides:
* Doesn't check HTML/wiki markup validity (broken HTML will become
broken wiki markup, which might be less bad though)
* Ignores <nowiki> (though I don't think that matters)
Idea: Have a checkbox on the edit page (or maybe on preferences instead)
that says:
"Convert HTML to wiki markup on preview"
Conversion *should* only take place prior to preview, so a human can
make certain nothing's broken.

i want to update our wiki to the current version
MediaWiki: 1.2.0rc4
PHP: 4.1.2
MySQL: 3.23.58
as in the Version.php from 1.2.0rc4 the number "1002" doesn't differ from the
1.2.5 Version.php so i guess that copying the files from the source over the
files would just work, right?
thanks in advice,

Keine "Software-Patente" in Europa
Wir protestieren gegen "Software-Patente" in Europa.
Die EU-Kommission und der Ministerrat bemühen sich im Verborgenen um
unbegrenzte Patentierbarkeit von Software, wie von internationalen
Großkonzernen und Patentanwälten gefordert. Sie ignorieren dabei die
demokratische Entscheidung des Europa-Parlamentes vom 24. September 2003,
welche die Unterstützung von mehr als 300.000 Bürgern, 2.000.000 Kleinen &
mittelständischen Firmen und Dutzenden von Ökonomen und Wissenschaftlern
genießt.
Darüber hinaus können Sie uns unterstützen, indem Sie den Aufruf zum Handeln
II des FFII e.V. unterzeichnen.

We've moved everything on Zwinger from the 80gb drive to the 250gb
drive. The 80 is still in there, so if anyone needs files that were
changed in the couple hours between starting the copy and finishing up,
give a shout.

There seems to be a strange problem with wikiDE-l: I didn't get any
messages from April 17 to 20. Another person reported the same. And
yesterday someone said he didn't get any digests since May 1.
Could someone please look into this? Thanks!
Kurt

Hi everybody,
I would like to get hold of a current dump of the Wikipedia data for research
purposes; Jim Wales said I could just download it from somewhere. Could anyone
let me know where that would be?
Many thanks,
Miran Bozicevic

A SisterSites-style mechanism would be much better, where it
automatically shows links to same-named pages that exist on the sister
wikis without any need for explicitly adding the link.
Volunteers?

I have created a more detailed proposal on the Wikimedia Commons (shared
media wiki):
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Commons
I have added a mock-up of a redesigned upload form which addresses the
copyright issue, IMHO in a smarter way than the simple multiline upload
form that is currently active on test.wikipedia.org.
The page also includes an implementation strategy for single sign-on. If
we implement the commons, that would also be the logical time to implement
SSO, as the requirements are related and the Commons would obviously
benefit from it.
I hope we can move forward with this, but I need volunteers:
* people who are willing to help with the implementation
* people who improve the proposal and related documents
* people who spread the word about this proposal and get other people
involved.
If you think you can do any of this, or anything else, please add your
name in the "Who wants to help?" section. If I have to do it alone I'll do
it, but in that case I won't do single sign-on and most of the advanced
stuff that is discussed on the page.
If we do this together, I suggest adding the relevant changes to the
MediaWiki roadmap for 1.4.
Regards,
Erik
This seems like something that should be pretty straight forward, but
I'll be darned if I can find it. How do I set the defeult theme? I've
found how to change it in user preferences, but cannot find where to set
the default.
Thanks,

We'll be doing further maintenance on the database server tomorrow,
circa 19:00 UTC (noon PDT, 3pm EDT, 9pm CEST). Hopefully won't be
offline too long; we're shuffling data to a larger hard drive so the
thing doesn't explode when we use up the last couple of gigabytes. :)

For '' and ''' we produce <em> and <strong> tags rather than <i> and
<b>. Is this right or wrong?
Arguments against are presented by one of our own Wikipedians, claiming
it's an abuse of semantic markup:
http://mpt.net.nz/archive/2004/05/02/b-and-i
About the only argument in favor is "that's what UseMod did, and Wiki
before it".
