By the way, I've just tried to use ttf2woff from fontutils to convert Ubuntu TTF font to WOFF format for use in one of my projects. And the resulting WOFF produced by this utility is not usable in any Linux browsers (tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera). Don't know if it works on Windows. And at the

For the font repository we maintain as part of UniversalLanguageSelector, we use Google sfntly[1] to convert fonts to WOFF and EOT with maximum compression. We also use MicroType express compression[2] for compressing eot to reduce the size as possible as we can. Fontforge has an option to export

Fontforge has an option to export the fonts to WOFF format. Thanks, Fontforge worked even better than the online converter - usable WOFF, and the size is 50kb instead of 54kb :-) [1] http://code.google.com/p/sfntly/ [2] http://code.google.com/p/sfntly/wiki/MicroTypeExpress As I

[Wikitech-l] LinqToWiki: new library for accessing the API from .Net

2013-02-17 Thread Petr Onderka
I'd like to introduce LinqToWiki: a new library for accessing the MediaWiki API from .Net languages (e.g. C#). Its main advantage is that it knows the API and is strongly-typed, which means autocompletion works on API modules, module parameters and result properties and correctness is checked at

2013-02-17 Thread Yuri Astrakhan
Petr, make sure you require users to set their *User-Agent* string. Your library should not use any defaults. For the examples I would recommend this *User-Agent:* *MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; mycoolt...@example.com) LinqToWiki/1.0* See

I didn't realize that was a requirement for libraries (the library allowed setting the UserAgent, but it didn't force it until now). I have made that change and setting the UserAgent is now required. Petr Onderka [[en:User:Svick]] On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 7:42 PM, Yuri Astrakhan

Thanks for fixing it so fast! In the constructor, you might want to add your lib's ID to the useragent param: UserAgent = useragent.Trim() + LinqWiki/1.0; so that it would be possible not only to see that a bot is broken, but also catch framework bugs if all bots show the same problem.

Well keep in mind it's not just the total number of editors. The requirement would have to be that the number the editors in each independent geographic region would have to either be zero or above a threshold. Meaning if we did geo-analysis based on countries, any country with at least one editor
