Partnership with Mandrakesoft
by Yann Forget 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hi, Mandrakesoft, the company which created and sells the Linux distribution, is interested to distribute a DVD with an English and French version of Wikipedia. This DVD will be sold in their web site and included with the next distribution, due in next April. Mandrakesoft will take legal responsibilities for this publication and is ready to donate some money to the Wikimedia Foundation. The amount is still to be decided. Mandrakesoft wants that we provide them with a master DVD, and would like to complete this first edition for Christmas. As you may have noticed, a mention about this was included in the press release and the newsletter with the authorization of Mandrakesoft who will also publish a press release about this project. The summary below is also available on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_and_Mandrakesoft == Points fixed so far == * It will first be sold on Mandrake web site, then included in the next version of the distribution. * It will include only the current version of the English and French distribution. Mandrakesoft publishes a French version sold in French speaking countries and an English (international) version sold elsewhere in the world. The English Wikipedia will be sold with the international version of Mandrake Linux. * Mandrakesoft asks that the Wikimedia Foundation provide them with a master DVD. * Mandrakesoft will take the legal responsibility for this publication. * Fair use images should be removed as the publication has to comply with worldwide copyright standards, not US only. Also images without proper licensing information have to be removed. == Questions that need answering == * Do we include only complete articles or the whole of Wikipedia including stubs? * How do we package it? Several possibilities, see the page on meta. == What you can do == So we need some help to complete this project. * Work is needed to provide proper lisensing information on all images in the English Wikipedia. * Help packaging. Help with technical knowledge is needed here. Med and Hashar, among others, are already working on this.

Parser test suite
by Brion Vibber 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

I've added a primitive regression test suite for the parser; maintenance/parserTest.php. It runs a bunch of wikitext fragments from parserTest.txt through the parser and compares the resulting HTML to the expected results. Right now it still depends on the wiki configuration for a number of things and requires a workable wiki to be set up. As such some results may vary depending on the configuration such as what language it's set to. :P (I'd like ideally to have it runnable on a raw distribution tarball, using a mock database and requiring no configuration.) Wil's added in a bunch of additional tests -- thanks, Wil! Please folks, add more test cases to the file... Ideally keep each case small and individual to make it easier to refer to them. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

Customizing navigation bar (FAQ?)
by andrew fabbro 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

I've been looking all over for info on customizing the "navigation" bar on the left...adding entries to the list, removing some items I don't need, etc. The discussion on languages had some info, but nothing on how to add pages. The skinning articles seemed to focus mostly on CSS. I couldn't find a on-site page to edit it through the Wiki. If I want to add/change/delete entries in the navigation menu, where do I go?

keeping configuration file history
by Ashar Voultoiz 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Hello ! I am wondering if we can start using RCS for every changes we make to configuration files ? That will allow us to know what has been changed and who made it. The drawback is that we will have to stop "vi something.conf" or the configuration change will be lost when someone check out the RCS repository file (that's what happened 3 hours ago with shai and me). We can use a little "editconf" script that should be used instead of our editor that will automaticly: _ create the repository if it doesnt exit (mkdir RCS) _ checkout last version _ edit file _ ask for a log change _ commit the change Such a script is on the dev wiki [[RCS#Scripts]] . If nobody care, I will stop using RCS and just do like everyone else :o) -- Ashar Voultoiz

What is going on ?? The nl:wiktionary is currently a mess.
by Gerard Meijssen 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

After the changes in the capitalisation, I have made MAJOR changes already with regard changing to underscore templates. I do not know who decided to roll back the capitalisation, but the result is that the nl:wiktionary is broken. Please let us have the capitalisation turned off because now we are truly f***ed. Thanks, GerardM

Please update CVS with the file: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LanguageTt.php It's my implementation of the ucfirst and lcfirst functions for tt:, tr:, and az: Check please function ucfirst( $string ) { if (function_exists('mb_strtoupper')) { $firstChar = mb_substr($string,0,1); return (($firstChar == 'i') ? 'İ' : mb_strtoupper($firstChar)).mb_substr($string,1); } else { global $wikiUpperChars; $upperChars = array('i'=>'İ') + $wikiUpperChars; return preg_replace ( "/^([a-z]|[\\xc0-\\xff][\\x80-\\xbf]*)/e", "strtr ( \"\$1\" , \$upperChars )", $string ); } } function lcfirst( $string ) { if (function_exists('mb_strtolower')) { $firstChar = mb_substr($string,0,1); return (($firstChar == 'I') ?

IPv6 for Wikimedia ??
by Gerard Meijssen 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

I was wondering, Would it not be a beautiful thing to not only have our IPv4 adresses but also IPv6 adresses. Would it not be grand if we moved towards the future ? People is Asia are adopting IPv6 and it would be cool if they do not have to go through hoops to get to our IPv4 network. What is needed to get Wikimedia IPv6 addresses as well ? Thanks, GerardM

On second thought, it might take less than an hour if we disregard deletions. I'll look at it tomorrow or the day after. Erik Zachte
