Wikichem proposal

Hi PC, Can you sign up here if you're officially on this grant application? We can do copyedits there. Thanks! Martin A. Walker 21:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

WP articles on wikichem

Hey PC, thanks for all your behind-the-scenes work getting templates and categories organised here. I hope that things like image files are working for you now.

My friend Kelson - one of the organisers of the Paris wiki conference - should be able to help create a collection of the articles from the English Wikipedia for us on wikichem. We just need to supply him with a list of the articles, and ideally the versionIDs as well, and he will upload them onto wikichem for us. (Do you know which list(s) would be best to use?) However, I know that for now we need a few test articles to play with - and I think Kelson is perhaps away right now (see his WP homepage. Cheers, Martin A. Walker 17:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I think we're still quite a way from any sort of automated upload of articles. I've been trying to organise what is here already, although I have turned my attention to the more urgent task of the grant proposal for the time being. Physchim62 00:04, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Note to self

We're having problems with the display and uploading of long pages from Wikipedia (more than about 50k of wikitext). I am systematically blanking any long pages which can't be viewed. Physchim62 12:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I'll ask Greg to look into this tomorrow. They switched servers earlier in the summer, and some of the settings got messed up in the switch. Thanks, Martin A. Walker 20:04, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Any chance of nudging him about the extensions at the same time? ;) Physchim62 20:07, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I've sent an email regarding both. I'm not sure if I asked about the other extensions - I remember composing the email, but maybe I didn't hit send? (Last week was very busy!) Greg is usually very good at responding to my requests within 24 hours, but one of us must've dropped the ball there. I also asked him last week for specifics on expected hardware needs, to put in the grant- his boss is helping him with that. Martin A. Walker 21:42, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I love the new templates linking straight over to WP - beautiful! Didn't know we could do that so easily! Thanks, Martin A. Walker 17:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
