[Wikitech-l] [ImageMap] Looking for a reviewer: Link directly to media file when [[Media:...]] namespace is used within an imagemap.
Hi, I'm looking for someone to review and (hopefully) accept a very small (3 line) patch I wrote for the ImageMap extension. The patch improves the behavior of image maps with links to [[Media:...]] files. Instead of linking to the image page, these links should go directly to the media file (comparable to how regular [[Media:...]] links in wiki text work). My patch has been open for over three months now, and there is no registered maintainer of the ImageMap extension ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developers/Maintainers#MediaWiki_extensions_deployed_by_WMF). I've tried to ping some folks whom I thought might be able to review my patch, but none of them has responded. The patch is in Gerrit, and can be viewed at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/114439/ Kind regards, Remco de Boer ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] Memento Extension for MediaWiki: Advice on Further Development
Good! I'd like to run some tests on some of our data (we run several SMW instances). I will have to prepare a separate environment with the latest versions of MW and SMW and the Memento extension. Nothing too difficult, but it'll probably take some time.

Hi Shawn, I'm currently working on the Memento Extension for Mediawiki, as announced > earlier today by Herbert Van de Sompel. > This is very exciting! Coincidentally, at last week's SMWCon (the Semantic MediaWiki conference) in Berlin I gave a presentation to argue that we need some sort of 'time travelling' feature (slides are available at http://slidesha.re/1iIf3F9). One of the other participants also pointed out the Memento protocol. Are you familiar with Semantic MediaWiki (http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/) as an extension to MediaWiki? I'm curious what it would take to let SMW play nice together with Memento.

Did you add http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plgTaYD37mI&feature=plcp to the SMWCon playlist as well? I couldn't find it there.
