[11:41:53] The "Near this page" beta feature does not show anymore. Is it broken or did I miss an announcement? [11:47:24] Ainali: well, apparently, it's not broken, but got removed (ref https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Beta_Features&diff=1005296&oldid=1003976 ) but can't find an announcement right now [11:49:07] Ainali: see also https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Beta_Features/Nearby_Pages [11:52:03] Trminator: Thanks! "We hope to have the first release with the new design by end of June." Then I might be able to use it in the planning of my photohunt :) [11:52:56] Oh, no it said end of June.. to quick :( [12:01:26] it won't make end of june either I suspect.. [12:03:23] Ainali, thedj: Yeah, I don't think Jon's had any time to work on it lately. [12:04:28] James_F: Is there any way to use the old design as it were? [12:04:42] Ainali: The code is disabled in production, so… no. [12:05:15] James_F: Ok. [12:05:26] Ainali: I could try bullying Jon into working on it, but it's unlikely to work well. [12:05:51] Hi everyone, I've got a question related to the http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ service. Is this the right channel for that? [12:06:24] AndreasP: Ish. The experts in it are asleep I think right now, but I/we may be able to help. [12:06:32] James_F: No, don't bully him. But you can mention that there are users eager to use it so he gets inspired :) [12:07:00] * James_F will do. :-) [12:08:51] James_F: Thank you. My problem is the following: I opened a pad some days ago and worked in it. Since a few days, when I connect to it, the pad interface opens, but it says only "loading..." and will not bring up the pads content. I have an older backup of the pad, but I'd be happy do save the lastest version. [12:09:11] AndreasP: Hmm; can you connect to other pads? [12:09:35] James_F: Do you know the reason for why it was disabled? [12:10:08] Ainali: It was coming up to the deadline for changes anyway, but I think Jon felt that it didn't have enough attention to warrant being live in production. [12:10:13] James_F: I just opened a new one, edited, closed and reloaded. It all worked. [12:10:35] AndreasP: Do you have a second browser available? Does the pad fail to load in that one too? [12:10:42] James_F: Might there be some auto-delete for pads not used for some days? [12:10:44] James_F: Ah, ok. [12:10:58] AndreasP: There's no auto-delete, no; it sounds more like a bug. [12:12:01] James_F: In both latest ubuntu 12.04 firefox and chromium, i can successfully load the new pad, but not the old pad, i'm interested in. [13:58:56] James_F|Away: I just found my problem very well described on https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/issues/2107 Although the problem still exists, the content (but not the changeset) can be recovered: by manualling calling the url {id}/export/(txt/html) or {id}/timeslide. So I'm saved. :) But thx for your time and thoughts! [16:02:41] Hi! Does anyone know if wikimedia sites can convert wiki to ePub? As it already does wiki to pdf. [16:03:13] That's not possible [16:03:30] well, you can convert the resulting pdf to epub yourself? [16:04:35] yes, it is possible make a epub from a pdf, but generally with bad good results. [16:04:53] Sorry, I meant bad results generally. [16:05:22] hoo: why that's not possible? [16:05:47] Because it's not implemented [16:06:18] hoo: okay, so if someone tries I may be done :) [16:09:03] is there such projects running now, or any initiative to make it possible?
