Summary: New extension to provide a recent changes feed in a
format that can inexpensively facilitate real-time
mirroring of a wiki
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: [other]
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: tisane2...@gmail.com
There should be an XML or other kind of feed that can facilitate transfer of
diff data for each revision in real time, for import into another wiki running
MediaWiki. It evidently needs to be less expensive than the present OAI-PMH
functionality, which had to be restricted from public access due to cost. But
it also needs to be in a format that is more suitable than RSS for import to a
wiki.
There will need to be a client side and a server side. The extension on the
client side should not interfere with the ability for editing to take place on
the client wiki, although revisions being imported can supersede
user-contributed revisions, in a similar manner as Special:Import. Two wikis
with partially overlapping content can thus mutually collaborate on a set of
articles if the wikis are configured as both clients and servers of each other.
