Hi Brian!
I like the idea of a metadata API very much. Being able to just replace the
scraping backend with Wikidata (as proposed) later seems a good idea. I see no
downside as long as no extra work needs to be done on the templates and
wikitext, and the API could even be used later to port in
And on Mac OS X, ctrl+1,2,3,4 etc the hotkeys for desktop spaces. But in
general, problems like this are hard to avoid I think. As long as I have a
quick way 'out' of the editable context that is grabbing these keys, i
won't really mind.

That's probably going to be annoying if I ever accidentally do

Oh actually, seems that the OS overrides Safari etc here and won't even

I can offer this demo (quickly ported from toolserver, which now refuses to
run it):
http://tools.wmflabs.org/magnustools/commonsapi.php
Far from perfect, but to show what could be done now.
If anyone's interested in helping me develop it, I'll make it a "real" tool
on Labs.
Cheers,

Hey guys!
This hook appears to be the proper way to pass my extension setting
variables to javascript. [1] I don't get how it works. I mean, saw the
examples in Semantic Result Formats and get what PHP side should look
like. Still I have no idea how to access those variables in
javascript. Please

This looks great. I know a few sites that are already screenscraping for
our license info, so this will be a huge help for them. I noticed, however,
that the API currently doesn't support the attribution parameter of the
licensing templates (where it specifies the attribution string). I'm sure

The bottom line seems to be:

2) don't use the Dual_EC_DRBG PRNG
Hello all,
I have a mea culpa: I haven't been doing the Roadmap update emails
lately. The short of it is: it is dang hard and not time-efficient for
me to try to parse Google Doc's 'revision history' in a big spreadsheet.
That's why we (Robla) created a script to download and convert to

Hi,
So on Tuesday, August 10th I'm going to go ahead and turn on CirrusSearch
as the
default for mw.org. There's still some bugs[0], and I'm sure people will
find more[1].
Once it's default you can revert to the old lucene backend using
srbackend=LuceneSearch
like you can do now with Cirrus.

Yes, but system security and security of the private keys are equally
