[opensuse-web] openSUSE Web Updates
Hello Everyone, I thought you would be interested to hear about what is coming down the pipeline for the openSUSE forums, wikis, and blogs. Here it goes: 1) We are working on getting the wikis and blogs up to the latest versions. Aside from what appears to be some minor cosmetic issues on the wikis, these upgrades have been successful on stage. We are also working on getting the systems themselves patched to the latest versions of Apache and PHP. The blogs will be updated tomorrow on production, and the wikis will be updated on the 28th. 2) We are moving the blogs, wikis, and forum from iChain to Access Manager as part of the project to decommission iChain. The major advantage, other than being on a supported SSO system, is that these sites will now be single sign-on with all of the novell.com sites. We plan on coordinating this move with the wiki upgrade on the 28th, as we had to make a few updates to our extensions and theme to work with Access Manager. 3) As part of this transition, we were able to make the staging sites available to the public! We have been asked about this for years, and switching SSO systems was the perfect opportunity to do it. You may access any of the blogs or wikis by adding "stage" onto the first part of the domain name (enstage.o.o, wwwstage.o.o, lizardsstage.o.o, etc.). I would like to encourage the community to go and test the new wiki software and the integration with Novell Access Manager. -Matt

Just a quick note about the wiki: MultiBoilerplate doesn't contain my "boilerplate per namespace" patch. Please re-apply it. On related news: I just found out how to get the namespace names: run the namespace number through $wgContLang->getNsText ( $index ) see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgContLang Would it make sense to use the namespace names instead of the number? Advantage: Easier to remember MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate-* names ("'MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate-Portal" instead of MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate-102") Disadvantage: We need to rename the existing MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate-* pages Do you think we should do this change?

Another quick note: firebug shows me several 404 errors for /load.php (and the server needs 10 seconds to serve the 404, see below). AFAIK load.php is used to merge and compress CSS and JS into one file. This could give us a noticable performance improvement compared to loading $lots_of CSS and JS files. At the moment the CSS and JS files are still loaded in the "traditional" way (not too surprising - there are some <link> and <script> tags in the bento template). In other words: We need to do some changes in the Bento template to use the ResourceLoader. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader - and note that it's also a new topic for me ;-)

Is it normal/expected that GET Main_Page on enstage.o.o takes nearly 11 seconds to load? (measured with firebug) The same happens for other pages, including 404 errors like the page for load.php (which is handled as non-existing wiki page).

Could you re-apply it, and add a note to the upgrade readme so that it's not lost in the next update?

Sure, it sounds easier to me. Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tom [at] opensuse.org) openSUSE Boosters Team "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (11.03.1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner@opensuse.org
