*Hi <FNAME>*
*I hope all is well with you! I wanted to let you know about CREDIT, a
monthly demo series that we’re running to showcase open source tech
projects from Wikimedia Community, Reading, Editing, Discovery,
Infrastructure and Technology.*
*CREDIT is open to the public, and we welcome questions and discussion. The
next CREDIT will be held on October 5th at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 18:00 UTC. *
*Here’s a link to the YouTube live stream
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCn-oeHQnpU>, which will be available
shortly before the event starts. There’s more info on MediaWiki.org
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase>, and on Etherpad
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/CREDIT>, which is where we take notes and
ask questions. You can also ask questions on IRC in the Freenode chatroom
#wikimedia-office (web-based access here
<https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23wikimedia-office>). *
*Please feel free to pass this information along to any interested folks.
Our projects tend to focus on areas that might be of interest to folks
working across the open source tech community: language detection,
numerical sort, large data visualizations, maps, and all sorts of other
things.*
*Thanks, and I hope to see you at CREDIT.*

Hi,
I try to familiarize myself with Gerrit which is not a good example for
user-friendly interface.
I noticed a letter B in the upper right corner of the screen, and I
suspected it could be a portion of my login name. So I looked at it in HTML
source, and it was. I pushed my mouse on it and I got another half window
as attached.
So did somebody perhaps wire the size of a 25" monitor into page rendering?
My computer is a Samsung notebook.

I did not know XULetc... So, some parts could be related. Actually
the need I have is quite opposite to mediawiki but with the same
tools: not to support a community with common knowledge, but to
support a single/a small group of users/authors, with sustainable
knowledge, i.e. texts I can consantly augment and update, so I can
structure my "mneme" and build upon it, for me, for others. The key
issue seems to be individual (wikilite) versus community mneme (wikipedia)
I need the wikipedia proven tools and practices under the form of a
compact and robuts system I can rely upon and run on my different
machines through my dropbox directory (the way I actually use the
same wiki on three machines). However, the difficulty are :
1. mediawiki is not documented in that perspective for technically
agnostic end-users
2. some of the php tools are not complete for SQLite
3. installation of a new wikilite is still complex and long, I would
like to be able to install 30 different ones in one minute for a
group of students, with pre-entered pages, forms, docs,mailing lists, etc.
4. a review of extensions into that perspective - introduced as
perpetual off-the-shelve part of the experience.
5. farming management and updates (I run around 200 wikilites using
symlinks for the current release, each in its own directory)
6. I would like to develop specialized bots for content management
and interfacing, etc. that do not necessarily make sense in broad uses.
etc.
What I would like to get is an end-user oriented (extension and bot
included) documentation anyone can read, understand and use. Yes, an
installation and maintenance tool, with various types of use
configurations, Then a clear documentation of the maintenance and
extension tools with quality control and support. To become an
end-user textbase++ system, consultants should be available and
turn-click deliveries available (home and in the cloud).
Thx for suggestions.

I developed a MediaWikiLite system many years ago which worked
reasonably well. It was for having a wiki on a memory stick that
included the content and ability to edit it in the field without net
access. It ran on SQLite and use Nanoweb, a web-server written in PHP to
reduce dependencies further.
It's very out of date now, but may be helpful:

Mediawiki supports sqlite. And you can pretty much use with any webserver -
so are you basically asking for an installer? Some sort of xulrunner-esque
thing so the interface doesnt look like a web browser?

The personal way I am using wikimedia as an SQLite textbase I can
easily copy/backup from machine to machine and modifiy through
external bundled applications leads me to consider there is a need
for a wikimedia user 100% compatible "WIKILite" integrated/maintained
solution set.
1. has something like that been investigated in the past?
2. I would be interested by comments on the idea?
3. also about the approach that can best help users and possibly
wikimedia dévelopment?
I note that as a networked individual/professionnal I am interested
in multi-agent oriented interwares and would like to investigate
"wikilite" networking capabilities (both about what networked
architectures could bring, and aboout capacity based content
security/protection).
Thank you for your attention.

Hi,
In Wikipedia dumps for Arabic (arwiki), which dump does contain the article
categories along with article metadata (namespace, redirects, content,
etc..)?

There are occasional community discussions about how to preserve Wikipedia
(and hopefully the sister projects) for a very long time even if there are
any of several kinds of global disasters. This archival technology might be
of interest:
http://phys.org/news/2016-02-eternal-5d-storage-history-humankind.html
Quoting from the article: "As a very stable and safe form of portable
memory, the technology could be highly useful for organisations with big
archives, such as national archives, museums and libraries, to preserve
their information and records."
I haven't studied this technology in any depth so I can't endorse it, but
it looks like it might be of interest to archivists, preservationists, and
contingency planners.
