mediawiki

Re: mediawiki

I'm actually at a loss to get the suggested mediawiki anti-spam  
settings (disable anonymous edits, use content-regexp matching to  
block spam content) to actually take effect, so until that's  
resolved, I'm not as enthused about it as I'd like to be.  
LocalSettings.php edits should update the website, but I don't know  
if there's an additional magic step to take. If someone can answer  
this (I already asked Fare and then he disappeared), it would move  
things forward.

Re: mediawiki

I created a database account for the Tunes wiki. I still have issues
with keeping a regular schedule for working, sleeping, eating, tunes,
etc. Use IM or SMS for any urgent issue (ask in private).

               Special session on Metaknowledge

                         IPMU 2006
                  Paris, France, July 2-7, 2006
                    http://ipmu2006.lip6.fr/

                  Organizer : Tristan Cazenave

This session will focus on knowledge about knowledge (Metaknowledge) and
reasoning about reasoning (Metareasoning). When a system has to handle
large and possibly hetereogenous knowledge sources it can be useful to
use metaknowledge in order to use, transform, find, or discover
knowledge. Similarly when a system has different reasoning
possibilities, it can be useful to use metareasoning to reason, choose,
or monitor reasoning.

Keywords : Metaknowledge, Metareasoning, Self-Observation,
Metaprogramming, Reflection

Important dates :

December 15th, 2005 :  Papers Submission Deadline
February 1st, 2006 :   Notification of acceptance/rejection
March 31st, 2006 :     Camera-ready papers Deadline

The papers should be sent to cazenave <at> ai.univ-paris8.fr in pdf format.

Conference in Paris July 2-7th, 2006

Best regards,

Tristan Cazenave.

Actually, I don't see the pages linked or in the recent changes. How  
do I reach them?

They definitely need editing, but more importantly, did you figure  
out how to e.g. disable anonymous edits or spam black-list content?

Never-mind this: Of course, I can reach them by typing in the page  
name directly. Site organization can be worked on incrementally.

Path to "all pages" (was: Mediawiki is up)

Yes, thank you very much Thomas.

I will explain in much details the path to "All pages"
for the benefit of all on the mailing list.

Under "search", on the left, there is in "toolbox" the link
"Special pages"

  http://tunes.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Specialpages

The first link in that page is "All pages"

  http://tunes.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Allpages

where you choose the starting page and (leaving the edit
box blank and pressing the OK button) you finally arrive
here

  http://tunes.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=0

A final concern: can we redirect a path like

  http://cliki.tues.org/%s

in the actual

  http://tunes.org/wiki/index.php/%s

or is it too much work?

Regards.

Very short URL (was: Path to "all pages")

Well, I was hurried. Replying to myself:

Yes, there is:

  "Using a very short URL"
  http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_a_very_short_URL

But it seems quite intrusive and dangerous from the
description. Also, see:

  "Eliminating index.php from the url"
  http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eliminating_index.php_from_the_url

Regards.
