I have formulated a policy for Wikipedia development here:
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_policy
In short:
* We now have a "stable" branch. All Wikipedias should henceforth be
updated from that branch. It is currently identical to the main (unstable)
branch, but I'll take some untested features out in the next days.
* NO MORE MANUAL OVERWRITING OF FILES ON TEST.WIKI. Sorry for shouting,
but this really has to stop. If our Test-Wiki is supposed to be useful, it
has to be in a consistent state. That means it should only be updated from
CVS unstable.
* A basic testing procedure. Features will have to run on test.wiki for
3-10 days before they are committed to stable.
With this policy in place, it should become much more feasible to keep all
the Wikipedias up to date. We still need someone to finish the conversion
script, though -- Italian is still on UseMod, for example, they really
should be switched over.
Regards,
Erik
