Re: [Wikitech-l] Has anyone heard of a file download issue with Mediawiki / Wikipedia?
2009/10/8 Aude aude.w...@gmail.com: That will happen when the Use external editor by default option is checked in editing preferences. In order to get external editors to work, the browser needs to be configured. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:External_editors If that's not the problem, then I'm not sure what the problem is. Alternatively, it could be that a blank page somehow got stuck in Squid. If that's the problem, it should go away when the page is edited or purged.

[Wikitech-l] Webzzle
I was contacted by someone working (for) (at) Webzzle, who want to meet me (for unknown reasons as of today). I googled Webzzle to better identify who the guy is and what he is likely to talk to me about. And what I found let me quite dubious. Please have a look here: http://www.webzzle.com/explorer/home.kol There is a presentation of the concept here: http://www.webzzle.com/intl/en/help.html I kind of now suspect what the meeting will be about and I think I'll settle down for a phone meeting rather than an expensive and time consuming face to face meeting in Paris :) But I'd like to have your opinion about this website and the use it makes of Wikipedia. I am asking here in particular because there are obvious technical implications.
