Re: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki 1.21.0rc1 -- Help test 1.21 and update the announcement

Should I install MathJax ? Should I install C++? Suould I install Latex? None of these is needed. What versions of the software above are required for and compatible with your version of wiki? Note that this is a release candidate for MediaWiki 1.21.0 -- it is not my version of the software as I've done nothing special with this. I am the release manager for MediaWiki and this is a release candidate for a normal release. This may not be absolutely clear since I used my own server for the release instead of download.wikimedia.org. I had the release ready and didn't want to wait for someone to upload it to download.wm.o, so I put it on my own server. The next release candidate will be on download.wm.o. Does your version of wiki support pictures in PDF and/or EPS format? MediaWiki supports uploading PDF and EPS files with the right configuration. I haven't tried uploading EPS files, but providing thumbnails of these and the PDFs should work. -- http://hexmode.com/ [We are] immortal ... because [we have] a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. -- William Faulker, Nobel Prize acceptance speech ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

I haven't tried uploading EPS files, but providing thumbnails of these and the PDFs should work. Im doubtful thumbnails of eps would just work. Pdf thumbs need an extension (pdfhandler) in order to thumbnail correctly. Uploading of both these formats should be fine on vanilla mediawiki with a small config change to add them to the allowed file types list. -bawolff ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

There *will* be a release by May 15th. Probably before then. There are a couple of items on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21 that still need to be reviewed and merged before they are included. It would be nice to have those in the release.

Also we aim to plan these testing weeks with a bit more time in advance in order to have better promotion and prepare better documentation for new testers. That is the theory. In practice we are still improvising a lot with shorter timeframes. So, yes, there is still plenty of time. Does it still make sense to have the testing week on April 15-21? If you think so, could we define a narrower focused? Testing the new release is a good scope, but anything specifically that you feel like deserving testing focus?

[Wikitech-l] Gerrit actively discourages discussion
Hi. I'm concerned that Gerrit actively discourages discussion currently. I see a few issues: * auto-collapsing all comments except the most recent; * no reply feature or support for quoting (similar to what Bugzilla uses); and * the add comment feature doesn't allow you to write a comment while viewing the code or viewing the other comments, resulting in an awful workflow for me when attempting to write a comment. Is there some way to address these issues? Would it make sense to move all discussion back to Bugzilla? Is there some way to adjust Gerrit's behavior here? Or perhaps I'm the only one who finds this problematic. MZMcBride ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
