Just poking around on #theora, I was told by a dev that:
1) The file extension was not going to be changed, and
2) It had been discussed to death.[1]
Hope this helps, George

Where is the urgency?
Why not get a standard established before we change our behavior?

Folks,
In support of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team
I am trying to automate the cutting down of the English Wikipedia dump.
This would be used to create a CD or DVD with content from a chosen
list of articles.
I have documented the steps I take on the page above, and one of my
problems is that I cannot get pictures to show up.
I have tried adding enwiki-20060518-imagelinks.sql.gz to my mediawiki
installation, but I think this just provides the reverse - indicating
from a picture page which articles link to it ?
If I upload a picture, it works.
What I would like is to put all the pictures where the uploaded one
would go, and have it all 'magically' work.
At the moment all pictures show up as redlinks, like
http://localhost/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Lunar-Phase…
Which XML dump should I add, or what else could I include from the
enwiki-20060518-pages-articles.xml.bz2 file to make pictures work ?
Cheers, Andy!

This is the quarterly release snapshot for Fall 2006. While the code
has been running on Wikipedia for some time, installation and upgrade
bits may be less well tested. Bug fix releases may follow in the coming
days or weeks.
MediaWiki is now using a "continuous integration" development model with
quarterly snapshot releases. The latest development code is always kept
"ready to run", and in fact runs our own sites on Wikipedia.
Release branches will continue to receive security updates for about a year
from first release, but nonessential bugfixes and feature development happen
will be made on the development trunk and appear in the next quarterly release.
Those wishing to use the latest code instead of a branch release can obtain
it from source control: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Download_from_SVN
== Configuration changes ==
* $wgUseETag, to enable/disable sending of HTTP ETag headers
(default: disabled)
* $wgLegalTitleChars now includes '+' by default for better compatibility
with importing data dumps from Wikipedia
* $wgDefaultUserOptions now includes all default option settings instead
of only overrides.
== Major new features ==
* (bug 7098) Add an option to disable/enable sending of HTTP ETag headers,
as it seems to result in broken behaviour in combination with Squid 2.6
(disabled by default).
* (bug 550) Allow blocks on anonymous users only.
* (bug 6420) Render thumbnails for DJVU images, support multipage DJVU display
on image pages. Added new 'page=' thumbnail option to select a page from a
multipage djvu for thumbnail generation.
* Full Postgres support is now enabled. It requires version 8.1 or better, and
needs to have both plpgsql and tsearch2 already installed.
* (bug 6386) fix grammatical errors in danish naming of talk namespaces.

Hi,
what Fonts are installed on the wikimedia servers that can be used by the
automatic SVG->PNG conversion.
A list could be helpful for people who create SVG illustrations. And since I
heard a couple of complaints about 'poor font support' maybe the list can be
extended?
Best

Hoi,
For some of the newly created wikipedias there are reasons why I would not
create them as languages in WiktionaryZ in this manner
They are:
http://roa-tara.wikipedia.org/ Tarantino
http://cbk-zam.wikipedia.org/ Zamboanga Chavacano
http://zh-classical.wikipedia.org/ Classical Chinese
http://cu.wikipedia.org/ Old Church Slavonic
http://ru-sib.wikipedia.org/ Siberian/Nort Russian
- Tarantino is supposed to use the roa code. This code does not
signify anything but that it is a Romance language. The code does specify
what is included in the code and Tarantino is not one of them.
- In ISO-639-3 cbk is the code for Chavacano. Zamboangueño is an
alternative name..
- For Classical Chinese there is no specificity as what is meant by
this. This is also easy to explain as the zh (zho) code itself is
depreciated in the ISO-639-3 because there are some 10 languages that are
included in this code.
- I might include the Old Church Slavonic as chu. It is used as
liturgical language of various Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic churches. It
is considered extinct.
- The ru-sib is a created language. It is a bad idea to create a code
as if it is a dialect of the Russian language when it is not.
Thanks,
GerardM

Doesn't look like it. Here's the output:
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
So CPU time isn't limited in this account. So it should run fine. But there still could be some bot killing the process.
I guess I'll have to ask the ISP why it happens. I can't think of any reason.

I am specifically trying to fetch
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/scans/EB1911_tiff/*/*
without wasting the resources to spider wikisource (where the images in
question are linked) to find all the filenames.
I made my original inquiries on IRC and was told that
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/images/special/commons/20051126_upload.tar
may contain the files that I want, but I would rather not waste the time
downloading all 290GB just to find out. I was told that wikitech was
the right place to ask about such things, so here I am.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Hi,
I'm working on a tool that helps automating aspects of image license
checking in Wikipedia (developing it for HuWiki).
The idea is to show an unchecked image page in a frame and a list of
available actions in another frame.
However I realized that it's not straightforward to show a Wikipedia
page in a frame at all, it automatically takes over the top frame
after loading.
I've seen that
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Flacus/Wikipedia_Interwiki-Link-Check…
does some dark magic rewriting the page contents but do I have to do that too?
What's the reason for this behavior and what's the easiest way to get around it?
Thanks,
nyenyec
Example:
<html>
<frameset rows="50%,50%">
<frame src="about:blank" />
<frame src="http://en.wikipedia.org" />
</frameset>
</html>
