Re: [Wikitech-l] wmf-deployment branch

Hoi, When the updates for Wikimedia life have to go into this new branch, what is then the status of the trunk? Will all the updates *have* to go into trunk as well and will they ? Or will trunk suffer from bit rot and consequently will everyone work on this new branch ? What will be the status of

Re: [Wikitech-l] wmf-deployment branch

Hoi, I forgot, how will this affect our localisation and internationalisation ??? What version of MediaWiki is it to support.. it does support trunk and imho that is the right thing.. I seriously do not get it. Thanks, GerardM 2009/7/14 Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijs...@gmail.com Hoi,

Hoi, Almost every day the localisations from translatewiki.net into trunk. This new branch cannot just these localisations from the trunk SVN because they can be different. The key question for me is how is this going to work. I do not see it. The LocalisationUpdate extension might do the trick

Re: [Wikitech-l] Is this the right list to ask questions about parserTests

Thanks. From your response I'm not sure if these tests are supposed to fail (there are test suites that have tests like that) or they are supposed to succeed but there are bugs in the parser or other code that cause them to fail. Can you clarify? --- On Tue, 7/14/09, Aryeh Gregor

Re: [Wikitech-l] Is this the right list to ask questions about parserTests

Hm. Sounds like an opportunity. How about Mediawiki issuing a grand challenge. Create a well-documented/structured (open source) parser that produces the same results as the current parser on 98% of Wikipedia pages. The prize is bragging rights and a letter of commendation from someone or

Re: [Wikitech-l] Is this the right list to ask questions about parserTests

Well, its just an idea. I'm not going to bet my house on its acceptance. But, here are some thoughts why it might work. Mediawiki powers an awful lot of wikis, some used by businesses that cannot afford instability in its operation. It is in their interest to ensure it remains maintainable.
