Hi all, I just saw the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version which shows mediawiki version being used as 1.13alpha (r32485) . Looking at the CVS commits http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/2008-March/date.html I see there were quite a few commits later as well as before and after that with the latest commit http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/2008-March/053663.html with the same subject SVN: [32569] trunk/phase3 . So on what basis of a particular alpha commit is it used to wikipedia?
Another question but slightly different, is there anyway to know by either a mail or some RSS or somehow when the mediawiki back-end is changed to show wikipedia? Let's say it moves to 1.13alpha (r32569) ;) then how an interested/curious person can come to know without visiting that particular URL?
Lastly, I'm subscribed but not talking any mail from wikipedia as already over-subscribed & over-full with mail. But would be interested to hear from all concerned, so please CC me when replying on the same :)
