Greetings,
We appreciate the help received from this list during the development of
the Memento MediaWiki Extension [1].
We have recently completed work with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to
bring Memento TimeTravel [2] capabilities to both their wiki and all W3C
specifications - such as those for HTML and CSS [3, 4]. Their wiki runs the
Memento MediaWiki Extension.
In 2012, we began a dialog about bringing Memento to Wikipedia [5], which
resulted in a decision to conduct a pilot on English Wikipedia, but that
effort stalled. The biggest concern at the time was the maturity of the PHP
code in our extension. This has since been addressed, with thanks to many
on this list. We also conducted performance testing during development to
ensure minimal impact to MediaWiki installations [6]. Code for the current
version of the extension, 2.1.4, is located in gerrit [7].
Considering the consensus from the RFC was to start a pilot of Memento on
English Wikipedia, how do we start that process again?
Thanks in advance,
Shawn M. Jones
