Indeed. "When it's ready" may not be very precise, but it _is_ accurate. There have been some pretty major changes to the code since the Wikimedia servers were last updated, not the least of them being the rename of the Image namespace to File. Presumably the next update will happen when things have settled down enough that brion and others feel it's safe to do it without a bazillion things breaking. Which reminds me that v1.14 is also overdue for release. Perhaps what we'd need would be a temporary feature freeze, with commits to trunk restricted to fixing breaking bugs until everything is stable enough for a release. -- Ilmari Karonen _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
