Skype

Hoi, Sorry to bother you with this; many wikimedians use skype for Voice over IP (internet telephony) it is great software. It is really cool to be able to speak to someone in Australia and it costing nothing. Anyway, there is a new version for both the Macintosh and the Windows platform. The quality of service has improved. If you already use skype, look under help and check if there is a newer version. If you do not have skype, give it a spin. It is cool. Thanks, GerardM skype: gerardmeijssen

Please use the LiveJournal!
by Dan100 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Can I ask that developers use LiveJournal - http://www.livejournal.com/community/wikitech/ - to keep people informed about problems on the Wikimedia servers and what's being tried to fix it. People are much happier about something being broken when they know why and what's being done about. We also need one central low-noise source for information, and I feel the LJ is probably the best bet for that. Ta, Dan100

Who enabled $wgDebugLogFile on enwiki?
by Kate Turner 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

Because you just broke the entire wiki for about an hour without documenting it anywhere. Can we please not do this in future? Thanks, Kate.

Some time ago I posted a complaint about MW1.3's RSS feed that I received. Is it now settled in 1.4? -- NSK http://portal.wikinerds.org/freehosting

few questions (namespaces and RTL printing)
by Eran 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

In the Hebrew Wikipedia the "Category" namespace isn't translated (it should be translated to קטגוריה ). When it will be translated, what will happen to the category pages- will those pages be moved automatically to the new namespace? Will the links to category pages be modified automatically? And another thing... printing in RTL languages is aligned to left because of this code in commonPrint.css: #content { background: none; border: none ! important; font-size: 11pt; padding: 0 ! important; margin: 0 ! important; text-align: left; } In the Hebrew Wikipedia we added this code to Mediawiki:monobook.css which align it to right: @media print { #content{ text-align:right; } } Can someone add this code to RTL.css? Thanks

Fun with files
by Brion Vibber 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

To everybody who thinks it's a great idea to take machines out of the dsh group "apaches": PLEASE DON'T DO IT. When the machines get put back into apache service by some other person, they have OUTDATED INVALID CODE including OUTDATED INVALID CONFIGURATION which leads to ARTICLES SAVED TO THE WRONG DATABASE SERVER. Of course this wouldn't be so bad if we had THE BROKEN OLD MASTER SET TO READ-ONLY. Thanks. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

kates tools?
by Thomas Gries 19 Jan '05

19 Jan '05

Dear Kate and friends, I really loved such much your Namechecker tool - you already mentioned in a personal note to me, that this smart tool has gone, but I would be very pleased to have that up and running again on the internet. at least for some power users like me. Please - please - please could you relaunch your Namechecker tool ? It is needed to support all who are working towards the often requested "single user login", see i.a. http://meta.wikimedia.org/SUL for Single-User Login. Kindest regards Tom - for http://meta.wikipedia.org/Enotif , Eauthent and some other enhancements
