Hi all

Access the first beta here: http://tinyurl.com/34kfj5

I did a lot of experiments over the weekend. I mostly used a local
mediawiki-installation and even from localhost to localhost a full
import takes about an hour. Im excited to learn how long it will take to
import to a remote mediawiki ...


The Vim tips wiki page looks great. Nice work.

The contents of the following converted wiki tip page doesn't look
correct (a sample
page I looked at):

http://ls10pc13.cs.uni-dortmund.de/mediawiki/index.php/Computing_a_sum_of_numbers_in_vim

Maybe these kinds of problems can be corrected only by manual editing
by the Vim community.

Is it possible to display a list of recently updated/posted tips in a separate
page?

Some notes about it:

1) references to other tips get automatically replaced like in
http://tinyurl.com/34kfj5/VimTip123

2) references to the vim help get replaced by links to the
vim-doc.sf.net as in http://tinyurl.com/34kfj5/VimTip26

3) the following chars are forbidden in titles : [] {} # | +
These get replaced by __HASH__ __PLUS__ and the like. This is ugly but i
dont want to do any editorial work on the articles now.

4) The formatting of the tips and comments gets broken fairly often.
This is because original tips are verbatim and could contain wiki-markup
(eg. one space indent is interpreted as verbatim by the wiki or the vim
command '[[' starts a wiki tag)

5) we definitely need to edit the tips later on. I wont tweak the script
up to infinity. Some things are easier repaired by Hand (e.g.
http://tinyurl.com/34kfj5/VimTip7 )

My host is only accessible until 17h MESZ (thats 3h from now on). Then
i'll be offline.

Please give feedback!

Sebastian.
