2012[edit | edit source]
2012 highlights
- Archive Team archives all the non-deleted full article histories. Lowest Troll sighs with relief as it is no longer up-to only him to keep working backups safe.
- MediaWiki upgraded 8 versions up and MediaWiki/extensions to combat automized vandalism are installed and the wiki is once again unlocked for editing.
- Consumerium plans as of 2013 was originally "Consumerium plans as of 2012" and contained an interesting take on voting systems.
- Plans regarding the voting were (almost) finished in December 2012. Voting results ( obs. plural ), reviews, feedback and links and linked data and other information are the five key components of a view on a business.
2012 elsewhere
Open Food Facts (.org), a crowdsourced non-profit open database, web app and mobile apps of food products initiated in 2012 by French programmer Stéphane Gigandet. It is limited to foodstuffs only by the contract, others will be removed and clearly seeks not to be political.
The database is copylefted under w:Open Database License, database entries under Database Contents License and the uploaded photos under CC-BY-3.0 Creative Commons so the database and the photos can be reused in other services so it would seem a good place to contribute as open data is available in various formats.
2012 confusion
- In 2012 there were 2000+ extensions made for MediaWiki which must all be analyzed for usefulness which was attempted at MediaWiki/extensions
