Thumbnail patch
Hey Mark,

the patch did not work with my Wiki. I noticed that some thumbnails worked, others did not, independently of their file type (jpg, gif, ...). The only effect of the patch was that links to non-existent pages where not underlined red anymore, but black with a red question mark right next to it.

Any help?

 * Sent you an email asking you to try this 1.20 beta tarball and let me know what you find.

Question About Workflow Proposal for Problem Entry
Hello, for my OPW Project (my project page) I wanted to complete the Workflow Proposal you started. I plan to look at other open source projects to see how they handle feedback. If you could, I'd like to know your original thoughts on this to help direct me where to look and formulate questions to ask contacts in other projects. Thank you for your time! --Valeriej (talk) 18:49, 07 January 2013 (UTC)
 * My original idea was to set up a wizard of some sort to help users report problems and make sure the problem reports. Wikipedia is pretty unique -- Mozilla and Gnome don't have anywhere close to the copyright issues that Wikipedia does.  But I did find that some things Mozilla is doing on QMO looked very attractive, community-wise.  I'm not sure what else you're interested in.  Feel free to contact me on IRC (hexmode) and I'll discuss it with you further.

MW 1.19. support
Heiya Mark, there seems to be some confusion about the time span MW 1.19 will be supported. The announcement states two years. One could argue that this is counted from the initial release of 1.19. in May 2012 (= support until May 2014), or for the two years Wheezy is supported (= support until February 2015). The latter makes more sense to me, but clarification would be cool. I am sure that you will be of help in this case. Cheers --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 23:52, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * My idea was more along the line of syncing up with Debian. I want to get all this nailed down with other devs.  Where have you hear talk about this? -- ☠ MarkAHershberger ☢ (talk) ☣ 00:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It was a recent edit commentary on page Version lifecycle which made me have second thoughts. I believe that it is crucial for the community to know, either way. There is no immediate problem. However, a lot of people are relying on the info there. Besides, your thoughts on this sound reasonable to me. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 01:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
