Talk:Open Source Toolset
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Do you include such stuff as CSS, xhtml, php, etc? Bawolff 04:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Except for PHP none of those are really pieces of software... Although the last one is why I came to the talk page: Should we setup a seperate page for free software that Wikimedia is using on the backend? --Gmaxwell 04:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tag on commons?
This makes me wonder if we should have categories on commons for media processed by each tool, so people can find examples (and possibly contact their creators) more easily. Rl 08:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's being done at least for Inkscape; doing it for others sounds like a good idea.--Eloquence 08:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

- I created Category:Created with Hugin for Hugin (currently at 137 files). Popular program. Rl 16:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Project management software
Could anyone suggest project management software (such as en:Trac) which could work well with Wikipedia-style content on MediaWiki? --Oldak Quill 22:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiText editing
Hi, one set of tools that appears missing, perhaps on purpose, is wikitext editors. w:Wikipedia:Text editor support mentions most of the usable ones, and looks like a good basis for a page on meta: as it is not English specific and many of these projects are not encyclopaedic; would it be appropriate to transwiki it here? There are a few more on Dedicated Wikipedia editor that could be be incorporated for completeness.
Also, is MWiki-Browser an ongoing project or has w:WP:AWB incorporated all of the features of the forked project? Jayvdb 06:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Emacs with wikipedia-mode is pretty good.. though I wish it had a button to hide inline citations. ;) --Gmaxwell 06:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Video editing?
Hello,
What do you suggest for video editing? Thanks, Yann 15:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- VirtualDub? --Flominator 16:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- or for those who also don't want to use a proprietary OS there is Avidemux
- or if you need something bigger maybe Cinelerra suits your needs...--84.182.160.149 11:16, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mediawiki Foundation open source policy/practise
Recently on WikiEN-l there was a mention that the foundation has a policy on using Open Source, but perhaps it wasn't official. I went looking and wasnt able to find any statement. Is there a statement, or failing that a list of software used on the Mediawiki foundation servers? John Vandenberg 02:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
