MediaWiki Upgrade Good new on this front: The staging server is finally up and running (it took some time to adjust the iChain plugin). However, we decided to wait until after the 11.2 launch to go live. We will use the eytra time for more testing and move the system to more powerful hardware and SLES 11.

Team,
here is the agenda for our first Wiki-Team IRC Meeting about the Wiki-Concept on the 30th of October 2009 at 6pm CET. The agenda is to be seen as a working draft - so, please add topics you feel appropriate. Hint: It would be desirable to have at least one "Booster" in the meeting to talk about collaboration possibilities.
Topics (sorted by importance)
4. Semantic MediaWiki and technical achievability of MediaWiki Extensions (also: FlaggedRevs) Info-Provider: FSundermeyer
With the new MediaWiki in staging, this is the perfect time to install new extensions. There currentlky is a list of requested extensions at http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team/Requested_Extensions I am not sure whether all of them are needed, so this might be something worth discussing. From an administration standpoint, I would like to keep the number of extensions to an absolute _minimum_. Each extension might add potential security holes and makes updating the wiki more difficult. As for the Semantic MediaWiki and FalggedRevs Extensions: I haven't digged too deep into the documentation of these extensions, but I think they both require to rw databse access. We should be absolutely sure we need and want any extension that writes into the wiki database, because I guess it will be difficult getting rid of such an extension. We also need to make sure that such an extension is well maintained (this seems to be tha case with both extensions mentioned above), otherwise this might lead to a Wiki that is not upgradeable anymore.
7. Use of Templates Volunteers to review existing ones, create new ones, how to use
them - John?
My biggest problem with templates is how to know which ones exist and how to find them. We need to categorize and document them. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
