Hi everyone,
I recently set up a MediaWiki (http://server.bluewatersys.com/w90n740/)
and I need to extra the content from it and convert it into LaTeX
syntax for printed documentation. I have googled for a suitable OSS
solution but nothing was apparent.
I would prefer a script written in Python, but any recommendations
would be very welcome.
Do you know of anything suitable?
Kind Regards,
Hugo Vincent,

Hi,
I have just joined, I am from mumbai, india. I would like to get the
articles translated in marathi, my mother tongue. Looking at the effort
and no of volunteers, this will not be usable in any reasonable amount
of time.
That has made me think of alternatives - machine translation. A state
funded institute has a software available but I don't have access to it
yet.
Pl. comment about this approach. Has this been tried for any other
language earlier.
Thanks & regards,
Prasad Gadgil

Hello,
As wikipedia is slow at the busy time, I propose to get some new servers for our cluster.
- Some new web servers(3 or 4), P4 2,8Ghz with 2Go of RAM
- A server which could be a backup for nfs server, zwinger, with bigger disk, 80Go is very low, maybe 200 or 250Go
- Upgrading disk of zwinger to 200 or 250Go (or add a new one)
- A db server in 64 bits mode with 4Go of RAM (if we cant make working geoffrin), like this one :
http://www.macomp.com/products/servers/patriot2200.asp
With raid 10 disk system, 4 or 6 drives in raid and 1 stand-by. I prefer 15000rpm disk, but I can understand that they are more expensive
- Maybe another squid server
What do you think of that ?

I have started to write some documentation about the Chinese
conversion system at meta:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chinese_conversion
People interested in implementing conversion systems for other
languages should take a look at it. Note that most features
implemented are not Chinese specific.

Hi all,
I'd like to find out, if/how it is possible to upload several files or
pictures at once.
It seemed to my that it was possible to upload a .zip file of several
pictures, but obviously it's a feature of a different cms??
many thanks for any hints.
eric.

I'm trying to get in touch with the developers of Pywikipediabot
I've e-mailed the lead developer as listed on the sourceforge project
website a couple times about bug fixes and improvements I've made to
the code.
I'm interesting in getting developer access to the project so I can
commit some of them.
Please send me an e-mail if you can help me with this.
Thanks,
Michael Becker
Hi!
I would like to know if someone is working on the bug "Article non
effaçable à cause d'un bug" (article which can't be removed because of a
mediawiki bug). I heared that it should come from compression
trouble ...
I can help you, I know a lot of langages (assembler, Python, PHP, C++,
etc.) and have long experience in programmation.

My users keep accidentally editing anonymously when they think they're
logged in; this has gotten so bad that a few of them have asked me to
disable anonymous edits. Instead, I wrote the patch below my sig, set
$wgEnableAnonWarning to true, and put the following in
MediaWiki:AnonWarning:
<div class="usermessage">You are currently editing anonymously. Would
you like to <a href="$1">log in</a> before editing?</div>
It was quite effective. ;^)
Below patch is against MediaWiki 1.3.11 (the latest version marked
stable in Gentoo Linux's Portage). I'm not much of a PHP guy, so it's
likely suboptimal, but it might be useful.
