I'm now re-running git-svn clone on the relevant paths (lost the
original), once that's complete I can update the mirror again.
I'm cloning from svn+ssh:// this time instead of my pushmi mirror
file://, so people cloning this should be able to push upstream with
git-svn without using git-filter-branch to rewrite the history first.
But actually the reason I did this mirror was as a proof of concept
for a (still incomplete) conversion to Git.
Is there still interest in that? I don't have a lot of time for it,
but I could help with that if people want to go that way.
I don't care much myself since I don't do MediaWiki development
anymore, but I'd be happy to help with it.
Good morning.
If many people work in the process of verification and selection of
items, what is the proper way to record the list csv without the
following problems occur:
1) Repeat entries (Someone reviewed the same article because he did
not know that was already in the list)
2) Create a shared list and easy to edit (We're talking about a list
that may be so large that it is impossible to edit)
Thank you very much for your help

In the search preferences i can put a number in "Context per line". I
tried changing it on Wikipedia and no matter what i put there, nothing
seems to change on the results page.
It it supposed to do anything at all? If it doesn't do anything on
Wikipedia, then why is the preference still there?

There's no point in having our GSoC applicants wasting time working on
proposals that we aren't really interested in, that another developer is
already half-done implementing, or that are just plain bad ideas. So
please take a look at the project ideas page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2011#Project_ideas
and help me get rid of anything that wouldn't be a good student project.
If you could take a moment to skim the page and do this tomorrow or over
the weekend, that would be great -- I've already had to redirect a few
students once #mediawiki folks let me know that their first-choice
project ideas were bad.
Thanks,

Hi All,
My name is ankit. I am applying for Gsoc 2011 .I have prepared an
initial draft for the proposal(copied below) .I have taken feedback from my
mentor Yaron Koren on this. Please feel free to give your comments ..
Thanks
Gsoc proposal for Semantic Schemas
Short summary: Semantic Schemas a proposed extension , that would let users
and admins define everything about the wiki's data structure via XML
contained within wiki pages. That XML in turn would be used to generate all
the other relevant pages: templates, properties, forms, etc. And the XML
would be editable via a helper form, so that ideally users would never have
to do direct XML editing. Also, the XML could theoretically be imported
from, and exported to, other data-structure formats, like OWL and UML.
About me
My name is Ankit Garg . I am first year student of Computer Science
department , SKIT Jaipur, India. I am interested in applying for google
summer of code 2011. I am quite new to the open-source community and still
exploring it. I have been involved in MediaWiki development under the
guidance of Yaron Koren and have already done few projects in Semantic
MediaWiki.
I want to do this project because It will give me an opportunity to work
with a large open-source community so that I can learn more about it . I am
a passionate programmer . I have done programming in various languages
including C++,Java, PHP, Javascript , etc. I liked the idea that was
proposed by Yaron Koren to build a new Semantic MediaWiki extension namely
Semantic Schemas. with successful completion of my projects with Yaron on
MediaWiki gave me a good idea about the Semantic MediaWiki code-base and the
prospects of the proposed extension. I think it will be very useful to many
users who are using SMW and are looking for a common platform which combines
all the SMW extensions in a more manageable way.
== Some contributions to MediaWiki=========
1) Extension UrlGetParams :
The extension didn't have support for array parameters, like if you have
"?a[b]=c", there was no way to display "c" on the page. Modified the
extension to accept array parameters now . now u can write
{{#urlget:a[key]|default-value))
2)Extension:ReplaceText
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:Replace_Text#Regex_.28big_wish…
)
added regular expression support for the extension . Now a user can type
regular expression for both search and replace patterns.
for eg. a(.*)b" into "search string" and "ab$1" into "replacement string",
and then each instance of "acb" would change into "abc".
3)Calender format in Semantic Result Formats
calendar' format, which lets users display dates in a calendar. Some
people wanted to be able to change the first day of the week to something
other than Sunday
I added a fix for supporting any day as the first day in the calender
view.
Deliverables
1) Create a new extension, Semantic Schemas, that parses the defined
Semantic Schemas XML structure and stores it in memory, and provides hooks
for other extensions to add their own elements to the XML.
2) Add code to other extensions (most likely Semantic MediaWiki, Semantic
Forms and Semantic Drilldown) to add parsing for additional XML elements,
using those hooks.
3) Add to Semantic Schemas a simple mechanism for displaying the XML to
users.
4) Add a special page to Semantic Schemas, "Special:GenerateClassPages",
that lets users generate a set of wiki pages based on the XML in one page.
5) Add code to other extensions to create specific page types when
"GenerateClassPages" is called: Semantic Forms (would create templates and
forms), Semantic MediaWiki (would generate property pages) and Semantic
Drilldown (would generate filter pages).
6) Add another special page to Semantic Schemas, "Special:EditSchema", that
lets users create and edit the XML using a form.
Project schedule
1. 15th May: Getting to know the community.
2. 24th May- :- Programming Begins.
3. 23rd July:- Finishing at least 4 deliverables.
4. 23rd August : Project complete, with full documentation.

Hey all,
I've been scanning the source and I can't find where the players are kept.
Can anyone add any insight on this? Is it done as a hook or direct code?
TIA - Joseph Roberts

Neilk is realist. Either we bring more developers in the system or we
drop it and reuse another system already having some developers. For
example, we are not developing our own bug tracker or webmail
interfaces. We reuse code from others just like other reuse our Wiki code.
I would name a few issues with our CR system:
- does not known about branches
- lacks a manual merging system
- lacks an automatic merging system (something like: if rev and follow
up got 4 sign up, merge them all in release branch).
- a rev + its follow up could be grouped. We will then review the group
as a whole instead of individual revisions.
- I still have not figured out how to filter by author AND path
- comment system should be liquid thread based
- the diff is useless (I use a local tool)
- still have to rely on local tools for merging, reverting, blaming
- not integrated with bugzilla
There are lot of good points though!

Yours sincerely,
Has long tried to start a Wikipedia 1.0 project in Spanish
(http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_en_CD). Project
similar to the English version.
The problem is that I have been unable to contact WikiTrust team
(http://www.wikitrust.net/authors). We need the support of the Spanish
system, which does not exist yet.
I apologize in advance if this is not the right place.
Thank you very much.
