Ok, since Z-man brought this up in a different thread, and some work was needed, well, I figured I'd do the work and start this thread.
First, the upgrade. Z-man said he was going to upgrade to 1.27. Is that correct, Z-man? I hope so, because I made the old armagetronad skin (newly renamed to ArmagetronLegacy) work with mediawiki 1.27. It's marked as requires >= 1.25, though. I checked, and we're still on 1.23.
The old armagetronad just wasn't going to work with 1.27. I really had to basically start from scratch, but here's a screenshot:
I don't have any cleanup or anything to do. What I've done instead, is that in the web project, I've renamed the directories under themes/wiki so they just match what mediawiki is expecting. You could symlink to them from the webroot (that's how I developed them).
So, the current theme has been updated, with a few itches scratched that I had (so probably will make somebody mad, but I fixed some of the outstanding problems I was having, so hey!), and works with mediawiki 1.27. For that, we're clear to upgrade.
I'm going to look into bringing dlh's extensions over into the themes project, but I don't want to build a git-bzr bridge. He's not in irc anymore, anybody know where we can find him to wake him up?

Re: Upgrading the wiki
Just checking on how things are going, Lucifer. There is some interest in more tournaments and I would like to capitalize on that to try to get people actually playing the game again. I have some servers up on VPS's that have Anti-DDOS protection, so things can go smoother. I just await the wiki working again.

Re: Upgrading the wiki
Still waiting for the motivation to update dlh's extensions, and for z-man to upgrade the wiki software. The second part depends on the first part.compguygene wrote:Just checking on how things are going, Lucifer.

Re: Upgrading the wiki
Ok, Lucifer. Repeat after me, as if I were a Jedi using the force. "I am motivated to update DLH's extensions to bring life back to the game that I love and have contributed to."

I'm bugged, I'm bugged!
Back from vacation, alone for now. The girls only arrive back on Friday, meaning that once I got the house admin stuff out of the way, I should have one or two long evenings available without interruptions. Might work.
