Hi, I've posted a request for help at the

yet on how to change to the new software
for
vo.wikipedia.com to
vo.wikipedia.org
Nice to see that Rev. Schleyer's dream is still alive. :)
Can someone here help?
I'm still finishing up the rewrite of the conversion script to upgrade
the old-old wikis to the new-new software.
Previously we had a script to upgrade from the old-old wikis to the
new-old wiki, then another to ugprade from the new-old wiki to the
old-new wiki, and then there's a bunch more scripts to update the
database layout to the new-new wiki. Well, suffice to say the process is
a little messy. So I'm consolidating it into a single step, which I can
then run in one big batch on all the remaining languages.
And that will be good. :)
Patience! It'll be a couple days.
Also, could you point me to how-to's
on page background tweaking etc.
Does this entail the software client or
is it through the web that it can be
accomplished?
On the new software, the 'skin' for the site can be selected per user,
with a couple different options. The old software that
vo.wikipedia.com
etc are still running doesn't do that.
You can pretty things up a bit within the page though; see eg
http://fr.wikipedia.org/
I like the job the Eo group have done
with the look of the Esperanto Wikipedia.
Kudos!
Dankon!
