Helping Out [16 August 2012]

I'm hoping to be able to do at least something to help out. I have some experience in HTML, CSS, and JS. - Jdfoote1 21:20, 15 August 2012 (EDT)

Thanks! I've added you to the list. I'll leave a message here as soon as I get the source code in shape for posting on github. I'm on vacation for the next two weeks; I hope to have it ready by the end of September.--Dallan 16:45, 19 August 2012 (EDT)

Last-Modified HTTP response header not correct? [16 January 2013]

I'm just wondering if there's something odd going on with the Last-Modified headers that are being sent for page requests. For example, when requesting Family:Ralph Denton-Barker and Joan Denton-Barker (1) I get a Last-Modified header of Mon, 14 Jan 2013 11:33:20 GMT (which is actually just the time I made the request), but the actual time the page was last modified was 2012-06-25 14:23:47. Now, there maybe some TZ oddity there, but of course not months and months!  :-) I wouldn't have noticed this, but for the fact that printable-werelate used to be able to use this header to correctly only re-fetch modified pages; it now re-fetches everything!

Has anything changed recently? Or am I imagining that it was ever working?!  ;-) And, does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?

Hmm... well, it seems to be working again today! Don't know what was going on. — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 03:51, 16 January 2013 (EST)

Update? [17 April 2013]

Hi Dallan! How's it going with the opensourcing of the WeRelate engine? Just finding myself back with a tiny amount of time for these sorts of things, and thinking of looking at some stuff... :-) Thanks! — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 05:03, 20 March 2013 (EDT)

Sorry - I've started consulting full-time for a company that's in crunch mode until they get a beta launched at the end of May. I'm not able to do anything on WeRelate until then.--Dallan 07:59, 14 April 2013 (EDT)

We will be waiting with bated breath! Best of luck with your current gig. -- Jdfoote1 10:48, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

Do I understand properly that WeRelate is a customization of the MediaWiki platform where the customizations are primarily in those areas where MediaWiki supports customization rather than creation of a code fork leading to a new platform branch? If that is true, then open-sourcing wuold be a matter of documentation rather than code release. --ceyockey 06:20, 17 April 2013 (EDT)
