Markus,
It's great news and I'll definitely be looking into RAP implementation for
integration with other tools we use!
I have a couple of questions regarding the iCal and SMWRegistry though:
- Why do you use this strange encoding for the queries and other
things in RSS/iCal URLs? it seems that you replace % with - which makes it
harder to interpret or create. I wonder what's the reasoning behind this,
why can't you just use regular url encoding?
- SMW Registration is done by parsing Special:Version as I understand
- why not to create an RDF export of the statistical data that your service
can consume in addition to the base data in Special:Version? I understand
that old version will not contain it, but there are lots of other useful
data that can be extracted and why not to use best Semantic format to do
that? The project is called "Semantic" MediaWiki, right? ;)
I'll definitely try to upgrade TechPresentations, although first I'll need
to make sure that the rest of SMW extensions work fine.
Thank you,
Sergey
