Some typos, as usually.

Hi,
I know all developers are currently very busy, therefore this question. Is there a way you would prefere to get the patches or any way I can support the patching and activating of those patches? Or is sending the patches to this list the best way?
I'm just asking in order to reduce your (developers) work with my patches as much as I can. I have no problem doing some more/other things to get the patches running.

At this point sending to this list is probably the best way; whichever of us gets a chance to see and apply it first can thus do so.
Note that the patches tracker on sourceforge is a dead end, don't ever put anything there as it will never be seen. :)

On the Page http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Beobachtete_Fehler there is on the top a hint to use the tracker. Should this be removed?

No, cause that's talking about the *bug* tracker, which I at least actively look after.

I look at it too. I haven't /done/ much about it lately...

Can you handle CVS? I for one would have no objections to granting you CVS access. There are several Windows front ends if that is what you use (Google for WinCVS). For the command line client, Google for CVS tutorial and you'll find countless of good introductions. It sounds more complicated than it really is, with a decent front end, it's a lot like FTP.
Brion, would there be a problem in giving Thomas CVS access? It would certainly be preferable to have a nice web front end to the i18n, but that might still take a while the way things go :)
Regards,
Erik

I can handle cvs. Wikipedia cvs (from sourceforge) is installed at my linux server at home. And I have the documentation in the drawer of my desk at work, but to run an cvs ci LanguageDe.php I think I don't need it.

Cool! Give Brion your SourceForge account name and I'm sure he'll set you up. Maybe you can even help with other stuff, that would be neat.

No problem at all. But you still gotta notify us when you check in if you want updates installed on the server in a timely fashion. :)
Which reminds me; we really ought to set up e-mail notification on CVS checkins. Anyone know how to go about doing this?

*shame*
Yes, on my to-do list. :)

I sended you my sourceforge accout, and I will inform about patches here.

I know how it works, but I don't think it works properly. One of the problems I detected by using it, was that everyone has to add himself to the notification. And it works usually only for one file, not a directory. What I meen is: you add a new file, and everyone wants to know about changes he/she has to add himself to the notify. It don't works automatically.
But, there's possibly a 'solution'. You have to make a mailing list and send the notifications to this list. And if a new file is created someone must add the mailinglist-address to the notification. Possibly this works. I will check it.

I don't know about Sourceforge cvs, but this entry in the loginfo file f CVSROOT worked for nupedia:
ALL ($CVSROOT/CVSROOT/updatedev.pl %s)
it called the given script with the filenames that were committed. This is an extension of the logging mechanism for CVS. It allows logging information to be sent to a script. That's what we want, right?

I can set that up, though it might be more trouble than it's worth. I tend to do "cvs up" frequently, and anytime I see that there's been a checkin by someone else I look at it. If I got mail, I'd just ignore it and look at it later anyway. Also, now that I have the test suite running, I can do more bold changes that affect lots of files at once, and I don't know how mail handles that.

Boy, I gave 'em the check script and they still want more...

Ok, if not everyone want those mails, what about configuring CVSROOT/notice and using the cvs watch [add] command? Each developer than can configure it by himself.

Thanks for the acces to the CVS, Brion, seems all working well.
I will check in the following mailed patch myself, with some additional changes accumulated in the meantime, later on.
