Hi,
I think we should have some filtrer for the mailing lists against spams and
virus.
At least to reject non valid domains and virus with a few regex. This doesn't
take much CPU power, like a full antispam and virus does.
I can help setting one if needed.
Yann

We've had a few complaints about really bad page layout with the
MonoBook skin in Pocket Internet Explorer.
It would be a *great* help if someone with access to a PocketPC device
could look into this and try to tweak the CSS rules to where Pocket IE
will produce a non-crappy rendering. Does it support @media handheld
selectors? Is it triggering bad IE workarounds that don't work right on
it? Is it just inherently really bad? :)
As far as I can tell there is not a freely downloadable Pocket IE that
runs on 'real' PCs for web developers to test with, so we're totally
dependent on those with access to an actual device to do this.
Other handheld device browsers should be checked as well; those that
don't do CSS should look ok with the minimal structure of the xhtml_slim
base template, while those that sort-of support CSS might be messing up
like Pocket IE.

hello,I'm now translating wiki into Traditional Chinese
but chinese language code "zh" is used for Simplified Chinese
so can I use "zhtw" for Traditional Chinese translation? or else?
So, I'm thinking it would be kind of useful to have two special pages:
Special:Myuserpage and Special:Myusertalk.
These would just redirect to the current user's User: page and User
talk: page, respectively. If the user isn't logged in, they'd go to the
IP address User: and User talk: pages, respectively; optionally, they
could go to an error page.
Why would this be valuable? Well, it would help if one were trying to
serve the same HTML to all users so that caching is more effective.
Right now, each page served to each logged-in user has different
navigational stuff based on their user name. With a Special:Myuserpage
link, we could change:
<a href="whatever/User:Evan">My page</a>
to...
<a href="whatever/Special:Myuserpage">My page</a>
Anyways, barring objections, I'm going to implement this Special: page
and see how it works.

A segfault on suda's mysqld took us down for a couple minutes. It
restarted just fine, so this may have been a weird temporary condition.
Should watch memory usage etc to check that...
I've added the symbols to the stack trace below per the secret recipe.

mysqld got signal 11;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this
binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt,
improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by
malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info
that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already
crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail.
key_buffer_size=134217728
read_buffer_size=4190208
max_used_connections=1145
max_connections=1200
threads_connected=17
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections
= 1568054 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
thd=0xbb0fbff0
Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...
Cannot determine thread, fp=0xbf67f138, backtrace may not be correct.

Please read http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Using_stack_trace.html and
follow instructions on how to resolve the stack trace. Resolved
stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do
resolve it
Trying to get some variables.
Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort...
thd->query at (nil) is invalid pointer
thd->thread_id=29312209
The manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Crashing.html contains
information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.
Is there a way to query two or more categories. Something like
/Category:Philosophers:Dwarves that would return all dwarvish philosophers. I
think I saw a notice that a feature like this was implemented.
Thanks,
Forest Gregg
Zwinger crawled to a horrible death again today. Reboot & log check
showed OOM kills in the log, again. Noticed that _somebody_ disabled swap!
The machine's got 1gig of ram. That's a nice chunk, but apparently
sometimes it gets pushed, and we get that OOM condition. That's not good.
I've turned swap back on (2gig).

This is mostly a question for Erik Moeller and Lee Daniel Crocker. The
new README in CVS says,
Sections of code written exclusively by Lee Crocker or Erik
Moeller are also released into the public domain, wich does
not impair the obligations of users under the GPL for use
of the whole code or other sections thereof.
First, I'm pretty sure you can't release something under the GPL and
also disclaim copyright to it.
Second, it's not clear that you can contribute to a GPL project like
Mediawiki and make "parts" of that work public domain. What parts of
your work are not derivative of previous work, and thus not required to
be under the GPL? Remember, derivation doesn't just mean "containing
parts of previous stuff" -- adding a function to an existing module is
making a derivative work (the new module), even if "your" function
doesn't contain any code from the other modules.
Lastly, who benefits from this? Why make this confusion for users? How
am I supposed to figure out what parts of MediaWiki aren't encumbered by
the GPL? If it's pretty much impossible to me to find out, what good
does it do? And how does that outweigh the downside of confusion to the
99% of other users who don't need the PD dedication?
If somebody wants to put parts of MediaWiki under a separate license,
they should be really clear about what's under that separate license,
and they should make real sure that they aren't violating the GPL by
doing so.

OK, for those who don't know, this feature is accessible at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/newbies
Apparently it displays the most recent contributions by some of the most
recently created users (but doesn't say who :-p).
