Hey, Thanks for raising the topic Samuel. I can be lazy and not outline my view on this matter as it is identical to what Stephan already wrote. Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw | https://entropywins.wtf | https://keybase.io/jeroendedauw Software craftsmanship advocate | Developer at Wikimedia Germany

Hi SMW folks, The SMW IRC chat seems pretty dead these days (albeit not completely). I tend to pretty often have quick questions I that would be very suitable for a chat (need a quick answer, or throwing some questions back and forth, making the mailing list too slow), and find that the IRC

Re: [SMW-devel] Modern chat solution as alternative to IRC?

I've no idea how to use IRC, actually, for me it's something like BBS, something from the history lesson. Gitter and Slack will at least provide a slight possibility of somebody to appear. - Yury Katkov On Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 1:32 PM, Stephan Gambke via Semediawiki-devel <

Hi, The history log is not down, but it moved, to this URL: http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23semantic-mediawiki/ Hopefully someone can change the URL in the message - it has been incorrect for years now, which I'm sure has caused a lot of confusion. I have no strong opinion on the

I'll pile on to what Stephan has said: Just use IRC. If people aren't there, get them to show up. I use Slack (via its IRC interface, naturally) and it works, but even using Slack's own client, I see no real advantage and I see several disadvantages. Cindy Cicalese[1] (who does things lik e

[SMW-devel] RDFIO 2.2.1 released

We just released RDFIO 2.2.1 [1] which is a bug fix release. Importantly, 2.2.1 adds support for non-English wikis, by using properly i18n'ed namespaces for property and category titles. It also fixes a bad bug in the RDF Import form, that would disallow edits if a certain global variable

Hey, I suppose the IRC could be linked more prominently, and as "SMW chatroom" rather than "IRC", so people that do not know IRC don't get scared from the get-go. One place where it is currently missing is the homepage, in the "User community" section next to Facebook, YouTube, etc. This could be
