Mentor signup
You mentioned that you'd be willing to mentor for Google Code-In. Since we aren't doing that, are you interested in mentoring the Outreach Program for Women in January-March 2013? Thanks. Sharihareswara (WMF) (talk) 12:21, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Outreach program for Women
Hello there,

My name is ketaki from India. I have completed my Masters (MBA) in Human Resources. I came across this outreach program for Women.

I am very interested in the same, but I do not have ant programming knowledge.

Is there any project for non- technical person.

Kindly revert, looking forward.

 * Hello,
 * You would maybe be interested by this marketing possibility:
 * Find vendors for MediaWiki
 * The independent consultants and other companies that benefit from customizing and reselling MediaWiki would benefit from cross-pollination, referrals, upstreaming their patches, and recruiting. Can you find those vendors, find out what they need from "upstream" (the developers of MediaWiki core and extensions), and start translating those requests into continuing collaboration?
 * Things you might need to know: English prose, web research skills.

E:User_Merge_and_Delete - Why have you marked it as incompatible ?
Hi,

in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension:User_Merge_and_Delete&oldid=617841 you added an information that the extension is incompatible with the 1.20 release.

Please can you tell me, why you think so, or send me more information ?

 * Hello,
 * I mentioned a bug reported twice in the page history and the edit summary:
 * 39470.
 * If you consider the code is up to date and, this bug apart, all works fine, please remove the banner, the mention in known issues for the problem is enough. --Dereckson (talk) 16:48, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for you swift reply. Okay, I added the reason to the template. Personally, I do not regard it as a blocker justifying such a strict formulated warning, but other users may do so. This is why I kept the warning banner, and will try to find some spare time in the very near future to fix this bug.

Just as a question: can you help and suggest a fix which I then will deploy?

Pay attention. Here you say "the categories links are broken, they don't lead to current categories URL scheme, demonstrating the abandoned state of the extension" but the categories are broken on that wiki. This is the cause for which the categories links are broken. Not for the abandoned state of the extension. So? Raoli (talk) 02:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * If you would actively maintain an extension, you uppdate its configuration, and so the links, wouldn't you?
 * Add the fact the author never replied to maintainership offer... --Dereckson (talk) 02:38, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
