This page is just a stub that kicks off the Javascript that fetches,
parses and presents the content. Wikiwyg can run on top of any
existing mediawiki without changes. All content is fetched using
XMLHTTP and a mix of action=raw and Special:Export. Links are
coloured red or blue a few seconds after they are first displayed,
because it takes a little time between parsing the link and getting
back a HEAD request to check if the article exists.
Does this mean that we can use it to browse Wikipedia, with a few
modifications? That would decrease server load, right?
I've changed the main page from something silly to something that
explains this. Yes, it could be used on top of any mediawiki, alongside
the existing interface. Running two interfaces has issues though, we'd
have to try to replicate any bugs in the PHP parser to keep the thing
consistent.
It may not have template inclusion support and it
displays masses of
XML per page, but it's worth it. ;)
Actually, I'm working on templates now. Templates are actually quite
easy, just another http request. The XML dump is just so I can see that
the parser is working fine, it won't be there when I'm done.
All I see is an empty main page, with for differently-blue-colored
rectangles with 3-pixel-wide borders. No matter what link I click, I get
an JS alert "hello world" message box. The rectangles cannot be clicked.
That is Forefoxc 1.0 on Linux, with a Privoxy as proxy in between. Any
idea what I need to enable/disable to see it work? :)
Best wishes,
Tels
