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. Tpt (talk) 17:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * O.k. That sounds good. Maybe generally not so bad to know about how to use or reuse templates :-) For now thank you very much. It will take some time till I have space to try * So long & L.L.R.R. - Andy

Google Books > Internet Archive > Commons upload cycle
Hello Tpt, GSoC begins soon. Yann volunteered to help with this project, would you be available as co-mentor for the MediaWiki (and JavaScript?) side of things? I'm not even sure if that would be part of a MediaWiki extension or just a tool on Labs, but I think your technical advice would be useful to make decisions such as this, if applications from interested users arrive. :) --Nemo 18:15, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Added you
Hi Tpt,

I added you to the new list of useful or interesting things that volunteer devs have done at How to become a MediaWiki hacker/Volunteer achievements. I hope that's okay. If you can expand or correct this new list, please help me. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 23:41, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Urgent request for new sidebar: for Commons links, please link to *both* gallery *and* category if possible
Urgent request: for Commons, please link to *both* gallery *and* category if possible

This can (presumably?) be achieved by using Commons category (P373) and Commons gallery (P935)

Otherwise people are getting concerned that "this mean we are going to need to create hundreds of thousands of basically redundant galleries replicating categories just so that links will work? That seems insane." -- from thread at Commons:Village_pump

(Posted on the talk page, but cross-posting here in the hope that you will see it).

Thanks, ~
