Thanks for the notice and clean-up, Andrea. I have now blocked these
users. I hesitate to block everyone on the users list that looks like a spammer before they actually post any spam, because I might mistakenly include some legitimate users. Unfortunately, requiring confirmation for account registrations is easier said than done because we can't send e-mail from the SourceForge web server. For the moment I have disabled account registration altogether, until we find a better solution. People who want an account can contact me and I will add them. I wonder whether it would be a good idea to switch to the SourceForge-provided MediaWiki now (http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/pipmak/) instead of trying to maintain our own outdated installation. When it was introduced, I originally decided against it for various reasons, but some of them have been eliminated now, and a reconsideration may be in order. Some upcoming changes to the Hosted Apps have just been announced (by e-mail to project admins, it doesn't seem to be on the web anywhere) and I'll have a closer look when they are implemented in 1-2 weeks. The advantage would be that the burden of administration is taken off us (me). The biggest disadvantage I see right now is that we would lose the Pipmak-specific look. -Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

I just took a look at the MediaWiki FAQ... <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ> ...and it sounds as if giving it a Pipmak look would be trivial, if you were to switch to SourceForge's MediaWiki. Unless there's some SourceForge-specific detail I don't know about that would cause problems in this area. -Aidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but yes, the non-customizability is SourceForge-specific. They just don't give you access to the files. I know how to customize a MediaWiki that I have full control over, that's exactly what I've done for the existing Pipmak wiki. -Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

Then what I read on MediaWiki's site does not apply. Sorry. Perhaps changing the look of the Pipmak just to give it a Pipmak look is not a wise decision, as portability may be reduced in the process. Now would probably be good time to mention that the left navigation/tool bar on the Pipmak wiki does not render properly for me: it is placed after the rest of the content on the page, but still on the left side. -Aidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

Yes, it's the same for me, And this is the same with Firefox and IE7 (but I remeber that with IE6 render was correct) I think that the loss of the customization of the sidebar is not something so serious, we could change a little the main page of the Wiki, including the link that now are on the left side. (but this is only my opinion).

The SourceForge bar at the top isn't as disturbing anymore as it was in earlier revisions and the lack of Pipmak-specific appearance, primarily in the sidebar, is unfortunate but no serious obstacle. Importing pages with full history seems to work fine, and I can even (manually) filter out spam revisions. The server seemed a bit slow at times, but I hope that was a temporary condition. One big advantage, apart from the newer version and centralized maintenance, is that this wiki can send e- mail, e.g. for watched pages. Before I can do the real full import, I now need to know the SourceForge user names of all past contributors so that I can match them up with the names stored in the dump. I will contact everyone concerned separately. Do not make any edits in the new wiki yet, they would be lost when I move things over for real - I will announce the time of the cutover later. -Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

It does seem a tad slower, but way quicker than Nabble is, I do have a Sourceforge account, at some point I was intending a tut around my demo, I enjoy writing them.. I'm wrapped up Beta testing various apps at the moment along with things I SHOULD be doing lol
The side menu; people would expect that anyway with a wiki Fingers crossed to move goes smoothly :) |

Wiki migration upcoming
by Christian Walther
::
Rate this Message:
With a few months of delay, I am now about to migrate wiki content
from <http://pipmak.sourceforge.net/wiki/> to <http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pipmak/ >. As soon as SourceForge staff processes my request to reset the new wiki, I will set the old wiki to read-only and start exporting and moving over stuff. Since I'm going to try to manually edit out spam, that may take a few hours. I'll post here when the migration is completed. -Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Wiki migration completed
by Christian Walther
::
Rate this Message:
The Pipmak wiki is now moved to
<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pipmak/>. Migration went smoothly (with one little exception: intermixed revisions of SourceForge placeholder content in the history of the main page), and most of the history is intact. Spam has been removed as planned. In the meantime, I have found out that, if I understand correctly, not every user logged in with their SourceForge account can automatically edit pages, but I have to individually give them edit rights manually. That's not quite what I had in mind, but I guess we can live with it until SourceForge fixes that (http://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent/sourceforge/ideatorrent/idea/172/) - it's no worse than the current state in the old wiki at any rate. Could anyone of you help me verify this by trying to edit something (e.g. in the sandbox)? I can't test it myself since I'm either logged out and have no permissions at all, or logged in and have full admin access to the wiki. Next, I will try to write a redirector from URLs on the old wiki to the corresponding pages on the new one, so that old links continue to work. -Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

It's pretty simplistic (essentially a one-liner in PHP), if anyone runs into a case it doesn't handle properly, let me know. The old wiki has been moved to <http://pipmak.sourceforge.net/wikiold/> and will remain there for a while in case any difficulties arise with the new one. -Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
