Hi Jack, The particular people that will be available to help is up to Artur so when this is up and running there will be more communication about who will be available.
Inside.wikia was started as a place where we could publish documentation on new features and also serve as a central place to get community feedback and have discussions on those features. Recently, the community team has said they'd prefer help.wikia.com as the place where this happens so that they can focus their efforts all in one place... so conversations on inside.wikia have migrated to help.wikia.com. In addition, we started the wikia-tech-l mailing list specifically to split off in-depth technical discussions. As for a deadline, yes, I've said several times we were trying to get this out there... in fact, I've been a proponent for this and pushing it internally for about a year. It has always been on the "fit it in when we have time" list and several times we started the effort and then stopped because larger projects took precedence or we decided internally to wait. That said, I talked to Artur about this last week and he committed to getting something up this week. I'll let him comment further on that if he wants to publish a specific date. Thanks, John Q. 2008/6/23 Jack Phoenix <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi John, > > Thank you for the quick reply and answers to my email. > > It all sounds very exciting and it is about time that we have the public > SVN repository.
