Serendipitously, I'd like to start making RC releases this weekend. To that end, could those of you who are interested in helping out with the Release announcement look over https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21 and fill in those sections that are marked "FIX"? Under "What's new?" there are currently the following sections, each of which needs some love: 1.1 Skins 1.2 ContentHandler 1.3 High-resolution image support 1.4 Ajax patrolling 1.5 Internationalization: gender neutrality and other 1.6 New accounts 1.7 Account creation welcome 1.8 Other 1.9 Password Recovery system uses Tokens 1.10 Wikitext now supported in JavaScript messages 1.11 Several minor HTML changes 1.12 Extended collation support 1.13 Bundled extensions If you had a hand in any of this work, please look over that page so it is ready for an announcement. If you are just learning about these changes, please make sure it clearly describes what has changed. -- http://hexmode.com/ [We are] immortal ... because [we have] a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. -- William Faulker, Nobel Prize acceptance speech _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
