[SMW-devel] SMW roadmap; HTML content marked up with RDFa tags

Hi, For future enhancements it should be considered if HTML content should be marked up with RDFa tags (, 123 Main St etc.) so that SMW generated content also supports a machine readable solution for search engines[1], [2]. [1] http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=14686

[SMW-devel] SMW roadmap

Hey all, I just updated the SMW roadmap with my own TODOs and made some additions such as adding a contact person per task. http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Roadmap This is in part as preparation for the upcoming Google Summer of Code. If you have plans yourself for making changes to SMW core

Re: [SMW-devel] SMW roadmap

I like the schedule idea. It provides a goal, and a measure of how accurately it is being achieved. It's less important that it be correct, than to just have it as an understood tentative guideline. By the way, I love the FreeBSD development model. Have you seen this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Re: [SMW-devel] SMW roadmap

Hi, No need to edit the wiki - I'm convinced. :) Being able to have a predictable future release schedule would be a big step forward for Semantic MediaWiki - it's something that even MediaWiki itself hasn't always been able to do - so it would be great if it works out. -Yaron On Sun, Aug 21, 2

Re: [SMW-devel] SMW roadmap

Hey, > since knowing exactly when, say, SMW 1.8 will come out really is a guess It is right now yes. This is not that good of a situation though. Having dates on the roadmap is definitely a good thing, as developers can better work towards these releases and people can anticipate releases. It's a

Re: [SMW-devel] SMW roadmap

Hi, The idea of printing a schedule for dropping compatibility with MediaWiki versions is a very good idea - it's helpful to both admins and extension developers. Still, maybe it's better to separate this schedule from the planned SMW version schedule - since knowing exactly when, say, SMW 1.8 wil

[SMW-devel] SMW roadmap

Hey, Recently Markus and I had some discussion about supporting older releases of MediaWiki in SMW. I figured it's best to have dates/releases on which you'll drop such compatibility on the roadmap, so people have some heads up on when that'll happen and to avoid continuing to support old releases

[SMW-devel] SMW Roadmap

Hey, I was just reading Devs email about his GSoC project to improve Special:Ask and thought "let's put this on the roadmap for 1.7", and then when I arrived on the roadmap page realized it's actually not a roadmap, but list of idea's. I changed this to an actual roadmap with releases/milestones l

Hey, > Has there been any progress on this? Neill Mitchell is going to set up his tool so we can try it out and make a decision on using it or not sometime soonish. Thanks for the effort Neill! Lydia, did you find out anything relevant to the SMW effort when looking into the same roadmap/feature

Re: [SMW-devel] SMW roadmap: how to get new items on it

All this talk about using SMW and SF reminded me that smw.referata.comalready has such a thing, here: http://smw.referata.com/wiki/Category:Feature_requests The data structure could probably be improved, though (one of the requests is "Impro

Re: [SMW-devel] SMW roadmap: how to get new items on it

Hi, I'd volunteer to help set up a SMW based trouble ticket system. I cannot promise to put in effort to constantly maintain it afterwards, but I can help set it up in the next one or two weeks. I already have an account on semantic-mediawiki.org, so I could actually get going pretty soon. Can

Re: [SMW-devel] SMW roadmap: how to get new items on it

In reply to the original email and the suggestions that followed: (1) I agree that it would be good if users could easily specify feature requests, and if there was some way of finding out how much each of them is wanted. (2) This could also inspire new extension projects. Users may not know w

Hi, Of course, there already is a place to make feature requests and get community votes: Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org), which is meant to hold feature requests as well as bug reports, and which has a (little-known) voting feature. I think the ideal place for that kind of discussion, t

[SMW-devel] SMW roadmap: how to get new items on it

Hey, Following the recent discussions about the roadmap, I'm asking myself if there is no need for a process to get new items on it. I have several idea's that I think would be nice to implement, but not maybe not everyone agrees they should be. I think ideally there should be some place to reques
