I am used to hearing logistics in the context of shipping physical objects -- in the American trucking industry, for example -- so I can't help but feel a little strange saying "logistics". I had to go look up the term and found this definition: The detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies. That is about right. I apologize for the confusion. </pre> Mark A. Hershberger 2013-05-18T15:24:27 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki.enterprise/234 <pre>Despite the my intention to release 1.21 today, I have to delay it until May 18. Yesterday someone pointed out a blocker to me. While we have a work-around for this, I don't have time to integrate it right now, so the release needs to be delayed until Saturday.

The patches included since RC3 are after the download instructions. While testing this release candidate, I discovered a bug in the installer (Bug #47489) which I would like to get fixed before a final release.

[1] Personally I'm fascinated by the statistics of the extensions, and skins. For example here is the stats for Semantic MediaWiki: http://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Extension:Semantic%20MediaWiki You can see the website where the extension is installed and the version information. Wikiapiary is quite new and I think is open to ideas. For example I think it would be nice to allow people to judge the extensions by several criteria. Maybe also add some code statistics will also be useful. Please post your ideas here.
