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.

You might like to subscribe to https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors which is a list that gets notified when interesting new tech is coming into MediaWiki and will affect the Wikimedia sites -- it is often stuff that is interesting to enterprises as well. And our Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/MediaWiki (also available on Identi.ca) might be something you'll enjoy as well!

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.

Is there a way to configure email notifications and emails so that the users of the wiki receive emails in html format? Or in text format without wiki-markup.

You can try it in our demo [2] (User: Testuser, Pass: hallowelt). I’d say it’s pretty stable, we have a base of several thousand users in enterprise contexts. BlueSpice including the editor is GPLed and you’ll find a download link here: [3]. Maybe this one could be a basis for your instance? If you find something that needs to be improved, me and my team will be ready to do so in a short time frame. In any case, I’d be curious about what you think of BlueSpice J and the editor.

How do you deal with recent changes, notifications and history in MediaWiki? Maybe anyone knows or develops the extensions that make those things more flexible? For example we've tried to simplify the recent changes page leaving only the very nessesary things there and hiding the changes made by our moderators and admins: http://i.imgur.com/oN1QYCI.png We've also experimented with Semantic Watchlist extension: if you have Semantic MediaWiki installed it allows you to see what property values have been modified. The last feature is the visual diff tool: I can say that sometimes it's very helpful but when we're talking about formatting differences the traditional two-side diff in better. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-enterprise mailing list Mediawiki-enterprise&lt; at &gt;lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-enterprise </pre> Yury Katkov 2013-04-03T06:54:52 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki.enterprise/221 <pre>Hi, As I've googled around a bit on the subject of a Rich Editor for MediaWiki, I can see that there has been some discussion on this subject already. Just let me quickly fill you in on my approach: I work as a Linux sys admin and have been administrating a fairly large MediaWiki server on the company Intranet for a while now. Recently there has been *a lot* of internal discussion abut the availability of a Rich Editor as the WYSIWYG extension became incompatible after upgrading from MediaWiki 1.17.x to 1.19.x. Also, despite my adamant suggestions WikiEditor gets little or no internal approval. By the way; no need to dive into a discussion about why we upgraded despite knowing that the WYSIWYG extension would not work. I'm now trying to get internal support for putting up money to pay a skillful programmer to finish whatever needs to be done to get a Rich Editor out into a stable state for a given MediaWiki release. So here are my questions to you: * What is the state of Rich Editor extensions for MediaW</pre> Johan Ramm-Ericson 2013-04-02T20:31:11 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki.enterprise/220 <pre> If you need help setting this part up, I'm willing to assist you.

Yes, MediaWiki requires at least version 5.3.2 of PHP. None of these is needed. Note that this is a release candidate for MediaWiki 1.21.0 -- it is not "my" version of the software as I've done nothing special with this. I am the release manager for MediaWiki and this is a release candidate for a normal release. This may not be absolutely clear since I used my own server for the release instead of download.wikimedia.org. I had the release ready and didn't want to wait for someone to upload it to download.wm.o, so I put it on my own server. The next release candidate will be on download.wm.o. MediaWiki supports uploading PDF and EPS files with the right configuration. I haven't tried uploading EPS files, but providing thumbnails of these and the PDFs should work. </pre> Mark A. Hershberger 2013-04-01T13:03:13 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki.enterprise/218 <pre>I've just finished preparing the first release candidate for MediaWiki 1.21 and I'd like your help testing it before the final release. Please download the release candidate and test it. If you find any bugs please report them on Bugzilla[1] and make sure I am added as a CC so that we can fix any show-stoppers before the final release. Finally, if you could also look over https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21, I'll be using an edited version of that to make the final announcement.
