--- Comment #6 from Siebrand <[email protected]> 2009-02-13 14:04:16 UTC --- No problem on my side, Markus. As for maintaining compatibility: I kind of agree with your point of view, but I hadn't thought of the 'out of sync with MediaWiki regular releases for SMW' thing. extensions/Wikidata/ has the same thing. OmegaWiki.org is running MW 1.10alpha, which is also kind of bad... As for dropping support for earlier versions: I would advocate dropping support for SMW with any MediaWiki version that is no longer supported. In general, this is until one year after a 0-point release. A record of this is kept on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/End_of_Life_Policy. End of life for MediaWiki 1.12.x is by the end of March 2009, 1.11.x has been end of life for a while. You are of course free to choose any compatibility scheme you choose as the SMW development community, but I think that supporting end of life versions, which may contains unpatched vulnerabilities, etc., will surely have outdated functionality and localisation for the core product, is not in the interest of the users of SMW. It also means that your release cycles require more QA as you get more versions to test compatibility against, which makes development cycles longer, more expensive, etc. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
