Talk:MediaWiki
There are some bugs such as the "remember my session"-option in login does not work. These are fixed in rc4, but there is some uncertainty to the upgrade process.
New in 1.2.0rc3
- Special:Export - XML export
- Special:Deadendpages - pages with no intrawiki links
Other failings:
MediaWiki has no full text search facility
- Yes it does. It's only Wikipedia that has turned it off, "because of the load", i.e. because mediawiki on that junk hardware run by the 'foundation' can't handle it.
- No doubt an independent board would be able to get enough people to trust it to buy enough hardware to do full text search. So once again Wales and his clique/cabal hold back the project, and make it useless for many purposes other than to enable forks.
We should deal with GetWiki and MediaWiki as one thing. All of the features will probably end up in both eventually. Especially as both are hate-driven products and they seem to hate each other especially.
- Aww man. Don't be so negative
- All successful software is based on hate. Look at Microsoft. All abstractions are hateful. But hopefully most relationships are affectionate.
Newest rumors about 1.3.0 final release date are for weekend or early next week according to Brion --Juxo 15:58, 6 Aug 2004 (EEST)
- When will it do the pass-through that GetWiki does? That's the only feature that matters, so everyone can run their own slightly customized GFDL corpus access provider. Basically Project Xanadu but 35 years late.
