[opensuse-project] Wiki update - call for testing
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too new - the database dump I used to setup the test wiki ;-) It's from last August, so please don't worry about the outdated content ;-) That all said - the test wiki is available for testing at https://en-test.opensuse.org/ Please check if everything still works, play with it, test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@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!

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. I know this is probably something for another impovement round, and all of the changes were under the hood, but are there already plans to improve/rearrange the theme to be responsive, i.e. fit better with different screen sizes?

This sounds like a good idea, but it's indeed something for another
improvement round.
I'd guess something based on Bootstrap might be the easiest solution,
even if it means we'll have to start from scratch [1].
I'm afraid I won't have time to do this, so - any volunteers? ;-)
BTW: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Skins_based_on_Bootstrap
lists some existing MediaWiki extensions providing Bootstrap-based
skins. Maybe one of them could be used as a base. One of them is even
named "Chameleon" ;-)

[1] I'm not sure, but IIRC someone ported the openSUSE theme to
Bootstrap some years ago. Unfortunately I don't remember the details
and on which page/service this was or is used. Does someone remember
it?
