For the last 9 months I have been programming mediawiki customizations for my company. Would it possible for me to submit a patch to the core mediawiki code?
I have identified a bug in HTMLFileCache.php. One of the member variables is not properly set early enough, and if extension code is written in a certain way, the cache code will crash. I lost an entire week to this bug. I almost gave up, were it not for prodding from others in my company.
As a second question, if I am allowed to submit a patch who would submit such a patch to?
For reference, here are a couple of sites I have constructed for my company. http://www.santacruz.com http://www.morganhillobserver.com/
Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
I doubt I'll be the first to say it, but patches are *always* welcome!
Either file a bug (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org) with the patch attached to it, or poke a dev on IRC (#mediawiki on irc.freenode.net), either method will eventually find a response :)
