Hello,
[[w:Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks]] seemed to suggest I should report
this here. Artcyclopedia appears to be hotlinking our image
thumbnails, although they link to the Commons image description page
(see eg. http://www.artcyclopedia.com/commons/leonardo-da-vinci.html
). I'm not sure what if anything should be done.
Thanks,

Last week I added some statistics reporting to our search daemon. It keeps track
of a 1-minute rolling average of the rate of handled requests, discarded
requests, the time it takes to service a request, and the number of
simultaneously active threads.
This info is reported to Ganglia, and can be watched at eg:
http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/large/?m=search_rate&r=hour&s=descending&c=Sea…http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/large/?m=search_time&r=hour&s=descending&c=Sea…
With a better idea of the actual performance of the system, we've been able to
put some work into optimizing the system a little better.
First, several more old Apache boxes have been commandeered, increasing the
search cluster from 3 to 8 machines. Second, Tim has switched the load balancing
from simple round-robin plus failover to a more flexible and cleaner system
using perlbal.
We found that the boxes with 3+ gigabytes of RAM performed significantly better
than the boxes with only 1 gig, probably because they could not dedicate as much
memory to caching the on-disk index files.
As of today, the cluster has been split into two groups, each separately managed
by perlbal. The four 3+-gigabyte machines handle en.wikipedia.org and
de.wikipedia.org, our two biggest and most active wikis, and the 1-gigabyte
machines handle everything else. We'll know better during peak hours tomorrow,
but so far it looks pretty good; reported dropped connections have nearly
vanished, and average service times are below 50ms for all boxen.
Future work:
River has done some work on fancying up the search for Wikia, but we haven't yet
gotten a clear agreement on whether or not the company is willing to open-source
it. If they do do this soon, we may adopt Wikia's code.
If not, we'll continue working on the base we've got to spiffy it up. The first
order of business is doing another round of comparisons on the base VM:
currently we're running on Mono, which was chosen originally for the combination
of being 1) open source, 2) reasonably performant, 3) not leaking memory. GCJ
was a touch faster, but leaked memory. Sun's JVM didn't leak memory, but isn't
quite open-source. Somewhere along the line, though, the Mono version sprung a
memory leak and we have to restart the daemon regularly to keep it from dying.
I'm uncertain whether this is in our code, in the Lucene port, or in Mono itself.
I'll want to check with a more current update to the C# Lucene port, and update
the Java code to test against current versions of GCJ/Classpath and Sun's JVM,
now that Lucene 2.0 is available.
Another important improvement we could make is better indexing updates: we
should at least be able to add new pages to the index in close to real time,
even if full rebuilds are still more intermittent.
And if it's ready for another release, I may check out the Sphinx search engine
as well. It claims better speed and result ordering than Lucene, but when I was
first testing it out it was too much in flux with a lot of new stuff going into
the development version.

Hallo all,
I have Mediawiki now for 1 year and everything worked fine.
I upgraded my OS to Fedora Core 4 (from 2) and I upgraded my Mediawiki
version to 1.6.7.
I have set $whUseTex to true and then installed imagemagick, latex,
dvips, gs, and convert, TeTex, Ghostscript and AMS fonts.
I have also compiled texvc.
I next loaded one of his pages and get in red text:
Can't write to or create math output directory)
I can see the PNG-file in the ../images/tmp/ dir, but nothing in math dir...
I thing it has to do something with the new hierarchy of
../images/math/ dir, but I don't know.
images/math exist.
PHP is not runnig under "safe mode".
Please help me, beceause I become crayzy, I am now working days on this issue.
Thanks and kind regards,
Farshad Bashir
Hi all,
Is it possibble to put all the math outputs in just one directory, for
example ../images/math and not ..images/math/0/4/d/ or
../images/math/f/6.d
I can only use the math if I can put everything in just one dir.
I hope someone can help me!
Kind regards,
Farshad Bashir

Hi,
I have the problem on my wiki where if I try to use the word
"selected" and then somewhere later in the same article use the word
"unions" I get the following error when previewing or saving:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access
/economics/index.php/Special:Search on this server.
Apache/1.3.36 Server at greens.timesprint.com Port 80
I get the same error when typing "selected unions" into my search box.
I am using the following version:

I've searched the archives for the past several months, and cannot find
the status of this project, other than a busy fellow saying that it was
the top priority in February. Anybody know?

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
WIKISYM 2006: THE 2006 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON WIKIS
August 21-23, 2006, Odense, Denmark
CO-LOCATED WITH ACM HYPERTEXT 2006
See http://www.wikisym.org/ws2006
Archival - Peer Reviewed - ACM Sponsored
EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE APPROACHING: June 19, 2006
GENERAL INFORMATION
This year's Wiki Symposium brings together wiki
researchers and practitioners in the historic and
beautiful city of Odense, Denmark, on August
21-23, 2006. Participants will present, discuss,
and move forward the latest advances in wiki
contents, sociology, and technology. The
symposium program offers invited talks by Angela
Beesley ("How and Why Wikipedia Works"), Doug
Engelbart and Eugene E. Kim ("The Augmented
Wiki"), Mark Bernstein ("Intimate Information")
and Ward Cunningham ("Design Principles of
Wikis"). The research paper track presents and
discusses breaking wiki research, the panels let
you listen to and contribute to topics like
"Wikis in Education" and "The Future of Wikis",
and the workshops let you get active and
contribute to on-going research and practitioner
work with your peers. (Many workshops accept
walk-ins, so it is not too late!) What's more,
for the first time, we will have an on-going
openspace track (to replace BOFs) so you can get
active and involved in an organized fashion on
any wiki topic you like. We believe this is how
to get the most out of your experience at WikiSym 2006!
And, of course, if you can't wait, please join
our conversation on wiki research and practice on
the symposium wiki at http://ws2006.wikisym.org
