the problem we face with hosting the wiki code in git is, that our production system doesn't have git installed (only svn) and it would be quite complicated to do so because of datacenter policies etc... I think a possible solution could be githubs subversion client support[1]. I already pushed our current code state there[2], so we can evaluate if this is an option for our deployments. If Matthew confirms that this works, we can go ahead and set up the repo at https://github.com/openSUSE/wiki .
That sounds like a good idea - and brings up an interesting question: If we push SVN checkouts to git, they will include .svn directories. What will happen if you check them out using svn? ;-) (Please test this and tell me the result.)
That won't work, as the .svn directory would get overwritten. I just tried that, the error message is: "svn: Failed to add directory 'trunk/extensions/test/.svn': an unversioned directory of the same name already exists" So it seems we can't use svn checkouts in our repo currently.
@Christian: Could you help us doing your requested changes in the github repo once it's at its final place? You are probably the one of us with the most knowledge and experience in mediawiki,
Thanks for the flowers ;-) I should add that the wiki I'm maintaining is quite small when compared to the openSUSE wiki: only one language, less visitors (54000 total views for main page - en.opensuse.org mainpage has 1.6 million views), less than 90 registered users etc. For example, I never had to think about memcached. Oh, and I even have some more extensions [1] installed ;-)
so it would be nice if you could help us :-)
I have the "usual" problem - days with only 24 hours ;-) I'll help whenever possible, but it really depends on what other things I have on my schedule.
I'd like to add you as committer to our wiki repo, so you can do those changes directly and we can test it together afterwards. Do you already have a login at github?
BTW: skins/bento/css_local/style.css seems to contain a bug ;-) Line 471 is thumb tright { I'd guess there are some dots missing (".thumb .tright"), but that's only a wild guess because I don't know where this style should be used.
As it's not used and I don't know where it was supposed to, I removed it.
