I changed the svn:mime-type prop so that the following urls now work: https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Dyna… https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Dyna… https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Floa… https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Logi… https://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/Logi… I kind of like the slideshow, but I think it would make more sense in a gallery section of an article, rather then on the Main Page. btw, Wikinews uses some js for animated ticker type things (Example: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Portal:New_Zealand ) in case anyone is interested, although its kind of feel out of favour recently [disclaimer: I'm one of the authors of the enwikinews js ticker hack thing]. -bawolff

FileBackend branch
by Aaron Schulz 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

I'm starting to finish the initial coding for the FileBackend branch (see https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/branches/FileBackend). I still have to get to thumb.php and img_auth.php though. Simple testing of uploads, re-uploads, moves, deletes, restores, and such are working on my local testwiki. At some point, I'll need to merge all this into /trunk of course. I'd appreciate any help in: * Downloading the code and playing around with it * Finding extensions that will need updating (or functionality that needs to be added to core for them) * Making suggestions and pointing out broken stuff (which I'm sure there is lots of) * Writing test cases (a LOT of these will be needed) * i18n improvements/docs for messages -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/FileBackend-branch-tp32887504p32887504.html Sent from the Wikipedia Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Shivansh Shrivastava developed these mockups which he presented at the WikiConference India and shared with me at the Mumbai hackathon: https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/mockups/ajax-mockups/ * English Wikipedia main page mockup with newsticker and gallery * Sliding login/account creation panel (based on existing GPL'd jQuery plugin) * Floating table of contents tab Some interesting ideas there, I'm sure he'd welcome any comments on-list or off-list :-) -- Erik Möller VP of Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

1.18 issues triage
by mhershberger＠wikimedia.org 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

What: 1.18 Triage When: Friday, Nov, 2130UTC Time zone conversion: http://hexm.de/ap Where: #wikimedia-dev on freenode Use http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikimedia-dve if you don't have an IRC client With the recent release of 1.18, I want to hold a triage to see if there are enough issues to have a point release. This Friday, I'll be covering bugs listed on the tracking bug https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/32711 to determine the severity and number of issues. If you know of issues not listed on that bug that have shown up in your 1.18 installation, especially regressions in MediaWiki behavior, please add them. Hope to see you at the triage! Mark.
