High Priority Tasks

Extensions and settings to try out

  1. mw:Manual:wgForeignAPIRepo - allows us to specify another wiki to pull images from.
  2. ParserFunctions - the extension, or whatever gives Wikipedia the logical functions in templates, that we don't have.
  3. Semantic extension(s)
  4. Search for the words extension and manual on the Desired features page to see other items
  5. FlaggedRevisions or whatever Wikipedia went with... so we can let people suggest edits for all pages, even the front page.

Hack extensions

  1. FCKeditor has a few problems - can help us to identify the areas of problem code, or even solve any of them?

Wordpress

  1. Forum add-on? (From above, "Social & forum features") Extensions exist but how well do they work?
    1. http://simplepressforum.com/ looks very well featured, and integrates with wordpress login.
    2. If we can work out an automatic Wordpress-MediaWiki cross-login, this would be much nicer, less confusing. OpenID behind the scenes?


Fixed

  1. newsletter with MailPress (I tried but couldn't get mail servers set up. --Chriswaterguy 21:25, 24 February 2010 (UTC)) getting close now. --Chriswaterguy 06:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  2. Fix RecentChanges cache (?) so it's possible to view more than 7 days. Solution: $wgRCMaxAge = 13 * 7 * 24 * 3600; // 13 weeks a simple code change which seems to produce something more like the intended results, at Appropedia:Site development/RC fix.
  3. mw:Extension:MultiUpload - speed file upload. Solved in concept - need to install.
  4. RSS feed - still getting blank line error in spite of extensive work to try and fix it (all the obvious fixes and a few obsure ones.) - Woozle gave a suggestion, which we'll follow up. --Chriswaterguy 04:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC) Inspired by Woozle's suggestion to look from a different angle, fixed by Jason Smithson.Reply[reply]
