Wikipgedia Project Update

Haven’t had much time to spend on [http://pgfoundry.org/projects/wikipedia/ wikipgedia] the last month, but found some time to catch up on some things tonight. I fixed a bug or two in the watchlist code, but there are [http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/?atid=534&group_id=1000124&func=browse others]. Also noticed we’re not call-by-reference safe, which would be nice to fix but might be quite an undertaking. One thing I noticed was that we’re really drifting from the mainline code. Part of this is that you got me spending about 4 hours a month on this thing vs. the large wikipedia development community (which as an aside is the sourceforge [http://sourceforge.net/potm/potm-2005-10.php project of the month] in October), but another part is that wikipedia is not even close to a stable codebase; there are hacks and half implementations everywhere [[image /xzilla/templates/default/img/emoticons/sad.png alt=”:-(” style=”display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;” class=”emoticon” /]] Oh well what can you do?
