Semantic Tasks

[Steren]

Hi,
I recently developed a Semantic MediaWiki extension for an internal use at Creative Commons.
See more at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SemanticTasks

It includes email notifications and email reminders, basically:
- for notifications, it parses a saved page and watch for the [[Assigned to::*]] property. I then sends mails to notify concerned people about the task creation or update.
- for reminders, you have to run a run a cron job once a day, the script looks for the [[Reminder at::*]] and the [[Target date::*]] properties tosend reminders.

This extension is used internally in the Creative Commons Teamspace (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcTeamspace).

Contact me if you want more information.

Hi Steren,

this is very interesting work, and we surely have a closer look. I forward
this to the user list since I believe more people could like to give it a
try.

I think I see some potential minor glitches in the code (try it on a Category
page ;-), but it otherwise looks as if it will be compatible with the next
SMW 1.2 right away (since you use the store methods for reading data).

It might be a good idea to get a login for the MediaWiki SVN repo and put the
code in there. This gives you free security fixes, easier deployability for
users that get their wiki from SVN, and translations to 100s of languages
(with little effort from your side).

Regards

Markus

Hello,
Thanks for your interest.
I've talked to Yaron today. We both agreed that a internationalization of the extension would be great. I will handle it during the next week.
Concerning moving the code to MediaWiki SVN, at CC we think it's a good idea but we want to keep an hand on it, so having a MediaWiki SVN acces would be great.
Anyway, let's wait for the i18n before moving to MediaWiki SVN.

Thanks for your comments and support.

hello
I had the time to work on the Semantic Tasks internationalization.
It's done and you can check out the last version in the CC git
repository (git clone
git://code.creativecommons.org/SemanticTasks.git)

I think it is now ready to be moved to the MediaWiki SVN. As I said
earlier, the Creative Commons Tech team would like to keep an hand on
it. Is it possible to give a SVN account to Nathan Yergler
<nathan@...>, Asheesh Laroia
<asheesh@...> and Nathan Kinkade
<nkinkade@...> ?

Congratulations, it looks like the extension is ready for widespread adoption now. This looks like it will be a quite useful piece of functionality. It might also get added to a certain wiki-hosting solution sometime soon. :)

Unfortunately, no one on this list has the power to grant MediaWiki SVN accounts. As far as I know, there's only one person who can do that at the moment, and that's head MW developer Brion Vibber, at brion@.... You just have to send him the username you'd like to have, your SSH key on whatever server you'd like to check in code from, and your reason for wanting a developer account. Though I should note that he has an unfortunate tendency to take up to four months to create an SVN account - something to think about in planning a course of action, perhaps. (Or you could try including an "URGENT" in the email, and see if that helps.)

Hello,
I added a "diff" feature to the Semantic Tasks extension. Now when a task is updated, the email you receive contains a small diff of this update.

You can check this out in the CC git repository (git clone git://code.creativecommons.org/SemanticTasks.git)

Regards,
Steren
