Hello,
[cross-post - please reply only on one of the mailinglists]
Those who visited the Heroes talk at the openSUSE Conference already
know - there is visible progress on the wiki update and I have a *test*
wiki running :-)
So, what's new? The highlights are:
- updated MediaWiki to 1.27.x (LTS release) and all extensions
- now running on a VM in Nuremberg
- including files directly from github
- better search (elasticsearch) - now searching all namespaces, but with
different weight
- login is now done using openID - but still with your openSUSE login
- namespace-specific boilerplates (page templates) when creating new
pages
- switched extension for RSS feed integration - this will need
adjustments on the pages that include RSS feeds
- watching a category (when pages get added to or removed from it) is
now part of MediaWiki core
- Hermes notification was dropped (was broken anyway, and MediaWiki's own
notifications work much better)
There's also something that isn't too new - the database dump I used to
setup the test wiki ;-) It's from last August, so please don't worry
about the outdated content ;-)
That all said - the test wiki is available for testing at
https://en-test.opensuse.org/
Please check if everything still works, play with it, test the new
features, ...! It is a test instance, so nobody will complain if you do
test edits that don't make sense content-wise ;-)
At the same time, remember that it is a test instance, so any changes
you do will be lost when I re-import the database dump for whatever
reason.
If you notice any issues, please report them - either in one of the
mailinglists (opensuse-wiki preferred) or send a mail to
admin(a)opensuse.org
If you enjoyed testing the new wiki, please also take some time to go to
our current wiki (en.opensuse.org or $LANG.opensuse.org) - there are
lots of pages that need an update ;-)
And finally - thanks to everybody who helped me to get everything in
shape!
I still have to do some work "under the hood". That shouldn't cause any
problem with testing, but it means that I won't do the production wiki
move and update in a few days ;-)
Regards,
Christian Boltz
PS: oSC visitors may wonder why it's en-test.o.o instead of en.test.o.o
now. That name change is caused by a funny problem with our SSL
certificate - *.opensuse.org doesn't match something with an
additional dot, and en.test.o.o had such a dot ;-)

Was habt Ihr denn? emacs ist doch ein tolles Betriebssystem!
Das einzige was ihm fehlt, ist ein vernünftiger Editor (vim?)
