*Not while they need to exist*. At the least, we need to document when a distro does something weirdarse. And this particularly applies to Debian, which does a pile of weirdarse things, to fit in with the weirdarse things they do with Apache. (Which the distro-specific page also needs to list.) This will increase the probability that people like me will actually use the distro version rather than finding it a weird unsupported fork. Of course, this requires a list of weird things Debian does. Is there such a list? (I see the MediaWiki page on the Debian wiki is proposed for deletion ...) I'll start hacking that page to bits, on the assumption that it needs burning and starting over. What is Debian's mailing list for MediaWiki? I went looking for it and couldn't find it ... - d. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
