Webcam Integration / Mass file upload
actually i would like to let a few shell users (mass)-upload files via scp or ftp,because uploading one by one via webinterface is a lot more work, but then i would need to "emulate" the web upload function to make them still appear like normal wiki file uploads

making a command-line script like 'wikiupload.php ~/image.jpg' which makes the image appear in the Wiki exactly like if it was uploaded via the regular web upload ,sounds possible?

< brion_> mutante, sure if you like < brion_> see existing scripts in maintenance/ and the code run by SpecialUpload.php to log uploads

thanks,will do will try to upload with a cronjob then, integrating my webcam to my userpage..

I made a fresh backup to my homeserver (wiki directory & sqldump). File sizes are getting bigger, means the wiki is growing quickly ;). Finn, if you want you can also download the backup from my homeserver later, to be even safer. greets, mutante 01:13, 18 Jun 2005 (CEST)

Recreated the Seti23 MySQL databases on this server (after hd crash,see below). Repairing step by step. The old s23 server will go down.

I wonder it we shouldn't fold current events into forum, rename forum to wiki-forum (WikiForum) as ist leads to confusions on wikis having a an online forum attached and rename current events in the navigation bar into wiki-forum. Same with community portal and wiki-node. I'm testing leading signing here removing the date btw.

Wer dringend seine Mail braucht bitte schnell an mutante (mutante@s23.org geht wieder) den account und eine alternative mailadresse,dann kann ich weiterleitungen einrichten, da die domainverwaltung getrennt vom server läuft.

Got the RC-IRC-Bot working! Now we have the bot in #wiki on Efnet. Join there, make a wiki update here and you will see. :) mutante 12:15, 26 Feb 2005 (CET)

You can help by putting uncategorized pages into categories. mutante 14:11, 20 Feb 2005 (CET)

Moved from Beta status to Release Canditate.

Currently the import from usemod is still fresh and you will see tons of editing that is fixing/transferring usemod wiki markup over here. You can help if you like. (pre-release phase)

Once we are done (not yet) we will "release" the wiki and redirect all the users from old usemod URLs.

'''Update: Traffic from old usemod wiki URLs is being redirected over here already. More than 1000 pages have been categorized. Still about 200 to go and many Umlaut fixes to do though.

Next steps:

- Finish categorizing. (Can endlessly be extended by inventing new categories.

- Fix all broken Umlauts. Find out if still so many that doing it by script on the database makes more sense

- Add content and internal links to pages that contain only external links (i.e. fix dead end pages.

- Hack own extensions (RecentChanges page for subwikis (ting,drogen) and tags. (good old and new stuff like )
