Is Wikipedia ok?
by Steve Bennett 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi, Hate to be the one asking that annoying question (and I don't have IRC access here) but just wondering whether I'm the only one seeing odd Wikipedia behaviour today/yesterday. The most common symptom is page timeout, but have also seen pages locked for editing (temporarily), and fr.wikipedia.org even delivered me a page in print mode when it wasn't requested. I'm getting page timeouts about 50% of the time, fwiw. Steve

SoC: MediaWiki Export
by Ben Francis 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hi, Since the MediaWiki Client API is no longer a Google Summer of Code project, I've managed to find another proposal which I find really interesting and submitted my application, MediaWiki Export. Application here: http://ideas.hippygeek.co.uk/wiki/WikimediaSoCApplication More details here: http://ideas.hippygeek.co.uk/wiki/MediaWikiExport I'm interested in how much work has gone into this already because it would be such a useful feature (both the exporting and the native DocBook storage). Actually, once the API gets implemented there are enormous possibilities for using MediaWiki as a document management tool and calling the API from different internal systems. An organisation could write documents using a desktop application but use MediaWiki for the back end storage. They could then log in remotely, access and edit the documents from anywhere via a web interface or other application. Imagine MediaWiki for help systems where the help appears inside a desktop or web application but is stored and collaboratively edited using a MediaWiki installation. If the XHTML wiki web pages only have to be one representation of the data, the possibilties are endless! The PHP tool written by Magnus Manske (http://magnusmanske.de/wiki2xml/w2x.php) looks good Best Wishes Ben -- Ben "tola" Francis http://hippygeek.co.uk

Why not save diffs instead of revisions?
by lyric680-web＠yahoo.de 11 May '06

11 May '06

Hallo list, I just took a look at the code. AFAIU the complete revisions are stored in a compressed form in the text table. Why did you choose this way instead of just saving diffs between revisions like versioning systems like cvs and svn use to do. Wouldn't that be more memory (and money;-) economical? Bravo for your work, Cyril ps: Sorry if that question might have been posted before, but I found no search feature in the archives. ___________________________________________________________ Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http://messenger.yahoo.de

wiki for lyrics and general music info
by alforishnor 10 May '06

10 May '06

I created www.breadformusic.com several weeks ago in hopes of creating a wiki community for lyrics and information on songs, artists, albums, and record labels. Many of the lyrics sites out there nowadays are incorrect and a wiki seems to be the ideal format for a lyrics site. We've already got a small community started but if any of you are willing to help out or just spread the world it would be much appreciated. thanks, daniel -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wiki-for-lyrics-and-general-music-info-t1588783.html#… Sent from the Wikipedia Developers forum at Nabble.com.
