[heroes] news.o.o article about en.o.o update
Hi Doug, here's the draft for the news.o.o article about updating and moving the english wiki. While writing it, I noticed that it doesn't make too much sense to split it into two articles, so Theo and I changed the plan and think it's better to publish the text below before the update (to announce the read-only time/downtime) and update it when the move is done. (Hopefully with the text "Update: The english openSUSE wiki has been moved and updated successfully. If you encounter any issue, please let us know by mail to admin@opensuse.org.") Feel free to adjust the text as needed. If you have questions and/or want me to review the draft on news.o.o, send me a mail or catch me on IRC. Otherwise just publish it on monday ;-) If you are looking for a nice picture for the article - what about the Heroes logo from https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes ? ;-) And now, finally, the article: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- English openSUSE wiki will be updated and moved home On Tuesday 2017-07-11 from 15:30 UTC till 18:30 UTC, the MediaWiki instance hosted behind en.opensuse.org will be set to read only, with slight possible downtimes. Reason is the move of the wiki from the old Provo cluster to the new Nuremberg opensuse network. Together with the move, the wiki will get an update from MediaWiki 1.22 to 1.27, and the VM hosting it from an old SLE version to openSUSE Leap 42.3 (yes, we are eating our own dogfood!) New features are: - including files directly from github -> https://en.opensuse.org/Help:GitHub_inclusion - namespace-specific boilerplates (page templates) when creating new pages -> https://en.opensuse.org/Help:MultiBoilerplate - better search (elasticsearch) - now searching all namespaces, but with different weight - login is now done using the Auth_remoteuser extension - but still with your openSUSE login - support for several map providers - switched extension for RSS feed integration (this needs adjustments on the pages that include RSS feeds) -> https://en.opensuse.org/Help:RSS_feeds - watching a category (when pages get added to or removed from it) is now part of MediaWiki core - removal of Hermes notifications - MediaWiki's own notifications work much better Please be patient while we are doing the update. We'll update this article and the status.opensuse.org webpage, plus we'll send a followup mail to the opensuse-announce mailinglist when everything is done. After updating the english wiki, we'll let the dust settle for some days, and plan to update the localized wikis next week. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Christian Boltz --
