Berlin hackathon invitation
I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon, 1-3 June in Berlin, Germany. Registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, then please register by May 1st and mention it in the registration form to request subsidy.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, teaching, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the upcoming launch of Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

We want to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator (talk) 01:50, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Status of your semantic genealogy extension
Dear Thomas, are you still working on your semantic genealogy extension? Looks like this is what I was looking for, but I don't want to use an experimental extension in my wiki. Do you know when this extension will be in beta status or even stable? Many thanks! --84.154.114.148 19:53, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * This extension is in a very experimental status so I believe that you shouldn't use it in your wiki. Tpt (talk) 06:23, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Thomas, are there some written lines about the usage of this extension? If you say very experimental, what could it do in the worst case? - Greets from Hunsrück, Andy
 * Hi! No, there isn't. I've abandoned the development of this extension before having a working product. So, this extension does nothing currently. Tpt (talk) 16:30, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for that fast reply. Are there other possibilities to create a familytree on my wiki? I found a template:chart on wikipedia :-) But no way to get it on my wiki * Andy
 * I think It's possible (and pretty easy) to reuse Wikipedia templates if you have required extensions (ParserFunctions and maybe Scribunto) installed. If you don't want to use Scribunto, you should have a look to the French version of the chart template that is basically the same template but without Scribunto dependances.
