[IAEP] Mediawiki 1.18.1 on wiki.sugarlabs.org

2012-04-15 Thread Bernie Innocenti
At long last, I've upgraded our production Wiki to MW 1.18.1 and enabled
the TimedMediaHandler extension.

I'm still not convinced about the WikiEditor. Please test it in the
wiki-devel and report back.

 Hello,
 
 I've upgraded our development wiki to the latest svn snapshot of
 Mediawiki 1.18. You can admire it here:
 
   http://wiki-devel.sugarlabs.org
 
 Additionally, I've enabled the following extensions for testing:
 
  - TimedMediaHandler: allows uploading videos in the wiki and
playing them on any HTML5-enabled browser. Demo here: 
   http://wiki-devel.sugarlabs.org/go/Sandbox
 
  - LdapAuthentication: allows logging in using the ldap
username and password (in addition to OpenID and mediawiki users)
 
  - WikiEditor: ajax page editor with some nice features. Earlier
versions used to break cut  paste on various browsers.
 
 Please test it a little. If I don't hear complains, I'll proceed to
 upgrade the production wiki and all the Local Labs wikis.

Yes, but I'm seeing many other issues:

1. I pasted a large amount of text into the editor and it made the tab
freeze (Chromium 18.0.997.0).

2. With Firefox, I start editing text, sometimes empty lines appear
unexpectedly just above my text.

3. The preview button at the bottom of the page sometimes shows a
spinning animation forever, sometimes it fails with this error message:
Some parts of the edit form did not reach the server; double-check that
your edits are intact and try again.

I guess this ajax editor is still too immature; If we don't want
trouble, we'd better wait to enable it until wikipedia.org does.
