Hi Joel, That's an interesting question. I would say that there are one and a half ways in which the SMW world will be affected:
- The half way is that all the #if parser functions can get replaced with actual "if" statements and the like, which will make templates that now use #if a lot nicer and more readable. That affects all templates, whether or not they use SMW. - The actual way is that Lua will presumably allow for loops within templates - which would mean that templates could have an unlimited set of parameters, which might mean that multiple-instance templates would be unnecessary. That would obviously have to be handled by Semantic Forms in some way. There might be other ways I haven't thought of, though. -Yaron On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 6:45 PM, Joel Natividad <joel.nativi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Folks, > Per > http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/02/01/1429229/wikipedia-chooses-lua-as-its-new-template-language > and > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lua_scripting, mediawiki will embark on this > major effort. > > How will this affect SMW and the satellite extensions that revolve around > it? > > Best, > Joel > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow! > The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers > is just $99.99!
