Linux and NPW
What's the status of running New Page Watcher in Linux? I'm guessing you're waiting on similar things for AWB to be released in Mono. At this point AWB wouldn't be very useful to me, but I think I could contribute a lot with NPW. I'm trying to find Wikipedia tools to use that work well on Ubuntu, but I'm not having a lot of luck so far. Most of the stuff that's written exclusively for Linux doesn't appear to be actively worked on by the developers. I may end up running XP or Vista in a virtual machine so I can use the stuff written for windows. That would be pretty lame if I had to do that...  [mad pierrot] [t   c]  16:41, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

*Poke*
I was wondering about the various things I've mentioned at WT:Plugin++. Is it possible to address any of those? =) –xenotalk 04:26, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Not to rush you, but more to focus your efforts when you get a chance:
 * User talk:Kingbotk/Plugin is probably the easiest, and most wanted (at least for me), change. Basically change "auto-stub" into "auto-anything" where user can give the class (i.e. with a check box and perhaps also manual input for peculiar classes like "Future").
 * User talk:Kingbotk/Plugin is probably the most critical in terms of users of the plugin in general, but I've routed around this by skipping articles with the WPBio and coming back to them with the bio module turned on. Sub-optimal, but working. The easiest solution would be allowing the bio module (or modules in general) to be turned on but not adding the template when it doesn't already exist. Then the BLP module over-rules any other modules, putting itself on top.
 * Then there is the project-specific modules with task forces. It seems to be, better to give users a way to manually create plugins that support task forces, than having to have them hard-coded. This is perhaps a more ambitious task, but in the long run, would save developers time responding to requests like the two I have up. (Neither of which is critical any longer, so between doing 3 and making me a Films and WPVG module, please do 3.)
 * User_talk:Kingbotk/Plugin should be trivial. Same as Category and Template, give the ability to class as either "N/A" or "Image" (some projects might use "File" as well).
 * Again, no rush at all. Thanks in advance! –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black; font-family:verdana;">talk 21:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * For no 3, Kingboyk and i have thought about that for a while. It'd be quite decent if we could just generic-ise it all, and then have possibly web configs for them downloadable.. Or something. —  Ree dy  21:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, any way to DIY would be helpful. I forgot to mention the whole "inherit classes from other wikiproject". This is probably doable with clever skipping regex and #1. A more elegant solution in the long-term would be nice. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black; font-family:verdana;">talk 21:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

SVN's
Hi Reedy. I appreciate all the work you do on AWB and don;t want you to feel it goes un-noticed. Regarding SVN's, I'm really clueless at software and all it entails. Should I be downloading the latest SVN every-time there is one? Hiding T 10:34, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Its generally recommended to, yeah. Its the leading edge svn copy. If we need to force an upgrade, we will bump the svn revision to make sure people are using them. It can be anything from minor bugfixes, performance increases, new features, or just general tidying up. They are used at users discretion, but in most cases, there will be no reason not to keep up to date. Use the log if you want to keep track of whats changed and what not! —  Ree dy  11:15, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you meaning svn snapshots, or your own checkout and build from svn? —  Ree dy  11:15, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. I mean snapshots like at http://toolserver.org/~awb/snapshots/ I wouldn't know where to begin to checkout and build from svn, unless svn is an employee at IKEA. I don't actually know what svn is, but I suspect if I type SVN I can find out. Hiding T 11:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Can you wait for community input before approving bots?
Can you wait more than 3 minutes for community input before approving bots that have finished their trial runs? I don't see the urgency that required this bot be approved in 3 minutes. Sure, the task is straight-forward, the trial run looks like a no-brainer, experienced, responsive operator, etc., etc. But, it's a courtesy, imo, to allow the community to evaluate and respond to the trial run. Maybe, under the circumstances of this particular bot a quick approval in a day would have been reasonable, but 3 minutes? Why? I posted this on the talk:RFBA board. Please respond there, not on my talk page, as I don't use it. --IP69.226.103.13 (talk) 21:03, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

How to grant AWB request?
Hello, Reedy. Initially, this question has been posted to user:Rodhullandemu. But he couldn't help me and later he directed me to you. The question was, how to give the approval to the user who requested for the AWB? We do have the page which shows the AWB, but we did not write anything so far. Also, we got only one guy who wants it. So, could you please tell me what to do or even if you want to take the action by your self, sure you can. The name of the user who wants that approval is: Mr_Accountable. Please give him an access. Yours,--'''Mwanaharakati(Longa) 15:55, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

AWB 4.9.0.3
A small niggle. The default edit summary says Project:AWB. This may confuse it with WikiProjects. Can we have it changed to AWB? Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Not all wikiprojects use "WP:". -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:42, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * What about an option? I much prefer the shortened version. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black;">talk 15:22, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * We could use AWB adding 8 characters to the edit summary... -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:59, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * What about this: if (project=en.wiki) (WP:AWB|AWB) else (Project:AWB|AWB). –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black;">talk 16:03, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Reedy, before releasing AWB 5.0 we have to fix Wikipedia_talk:AutoWikiBrowser/Bugs. It seems we have a patch. Please check. -- Magioladitis (talk) 22:42, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Where's the logic in AWB that looks at the checkpage to see if typo fixes can be applied

AWB problem
I was hoping you could help me with an AWB problem. I'm on the checklist (have been for years), yet I'm not able to use AWB. I log in successfully via the upper screen but AWB still shows "software disabled" in the lower left. If I try to refresh, I get an error that says I'm not logged in and the upper screen changes to a login screen. I've also tried totally removing AWB and reinstalling without success. I'm using AWB 4.6.0.0 on Windows Vista with IE 8.0.6001. Any ideas?--RadioFan (talk) 23:17, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Try this, it works for me it is AWB 4.9.0.3. AWB 4.6.0.0 is disabled to me as well as it is a software issue not a user issue. Hope this helps. Paul2387 (talk) 23:40, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * That worked, thanks for the tip. I'll have to remember not to upgrade until this is fixed.--RadioFan (talk) 02:48, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
