- Wiki: 1) In order to fix the wiki quickly ,the board approved the idea of deploying the latest version of mediawiki on a new server without branding 2) branding can always be redone later
Installing two extensions to prevent and get rid of the spam should be easily possible with our old mediawiki version. The trick is to use the 1.22 branch of the extensions instead of master (which is for the latest mediawiki version).
That said - give me SSH access [1], and I can do it ;-)
Updating to the latest mediawiki is a good idea nevertheless, but it might bring one or two surprises. Let's first fix the spam problem before we open that can of worms ;-)
We can't give you ssh access while the machine is in Provo
We are unlikely to setup a machine somewhere where you can SSH into it with an old version of everything
So the can of worms is opening partially in order to help make it partially your can of worms in the future ;)
OK, that explains why you proposed a new machine with the latest mediawiki version ;-) May I propose a another way to get the wiki fixed quickly? Is https://github.com/openSUSE/wiki is up to date? (I'm not sure about that, at least the attemps to install the Nuke extension never appeared there.) If it is, I can send a pull request with the extensions added (and assume we can get that deployed to stage and then production quickly). That way means I won't be able to test what I'm doing, but I think I know mediawiki good enough to get it right nevertheless ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- If something is red you should always worry.
