[Mediawiki-l] TableEdit version 0.2

[Jim Hu]

Version 0.2 (still experimental!!) of my Table Editing extension is  
now available

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TableEdit

For those who missed 0.1, TableEdit lets you put a tag in a wiki  
page, which is saved as a "Create Table Here" link to a Special page,  
where the user can use forms to build a table without worrying about  
wiki markup.  The tables that are put back in the wiki page have an  
Edit link that allows you to load the table back into the Special  
page for further editing.

Changes:
* Now uses $_SESSION for persistence prior to saving to the database  
instead of cluttering the page itself with serialized data.
* Schema change to support edit conflict handling
* Rudimentary edit conflict handling
* Now allows you to rotate the table to switch headings to be either  
on top or on the left.
* You can start with a table in either orientation by using  
<newTableEdit/> for headings on top or <newVTableEdit/> for headings  
on the side.
* Various bug fixes...more probably introduced in the process.

Works for me on MW 1.83 and MW 1.93 on MacOSX with the entropy (Marc  
Liyanage) php5.1.2 and MySQL 4.026 or MySQL 5.0.24-standard.   
Presumably works on other setups.
