Age is a number.  Youth is a state of mind.

Firefox used to have an about:config option that could (re)enable
blinking, although I don't know if it still does.

But blinking text should be easy to do when you're reimplementing entire UI
concepts in HTML/CSS because all the cool kids are doing it that way these
days.

MediaWiki contributors wanted

2014-11-04 Thread Greg Rundlett (freephile)
I've long been a fan of MediaWiki for what the project has accomplished.
It's obviously a leading global website, but it's so much more than that.
It's become the shining example of the participatory free culture movement
as well as an outstanding free software project.

As loads of organizations everywhere use MediaWiki software for their own
knowledge sharing and wiki systems, I'm getting lots of interest from those
organizations that want paid support, extension development, integrations
and other consulting opportunities.  As such, I really need to add depth to
my pool of MediaWiki talent.  If you know MediaWiki inside and out
(extensions, API, MW foundation, developer community, tools, etc) or have a
yearning to, I'd like to make your acquaintance and hash out our plans for
world domination in the wiki way.

Would you believe if I told you that what I was working on
was a web-based VCR clock?
