Wikimania 2011 - Testing for MediaWiki (English)




Testing for MediaWiki
Mark Hershberger, Markus Glaser, Priyanka Dhanda,
Trevor Parscal
One of the things that the MediaWiki software lacks and would
benefit greatly from is a robust and reliable test infrastructure.
This panel would discuss feasible ways to achieve better test
coverage of the software and how we can encourage test
driven development.

55:33 - Wikiversity: Article creation in the composition classroom
Lynn Marie Hamilton
College students benefit from writing for Wikipedia as part of
their first-year writing program. Wikipedia gives students a real
audience, rewards for, and feedback on their writing that goes
far beyond the classroom.

1:09:45 - Wikimedia and the Public Domain
Ryan Kaldari
Wikimedia is one of the largest repositories (and users) of
public domain material in the world. Commons alone hosts
over 3 million public domain files. Increasingly, however, the
public domain is coming under threat from a variety of sources:
governments restoring copyrights on public domain material,
media companies pushing for longer and longer copyright terms,
museums and archives acting as gatekeepers to the works
they house, DMCA abuse, etc. As one of the most prominent
projects in the Free Culture movement, how do we address
these problems and work to protect the public domain for the
long term?

46:15 - Fighting the Intellectual Property Regime
Nikolas Becker
The idea of intellectual property is not natural. It was
constructed in the 14th Century and has developed since then
into a worldwide accepted idea. A small group of Western
companies managed to spread this construction over the whole
world and build the regime of intellectual property. How could
countries of the Global South resist the much more powerful
western countries and make changes to the TRIPS agreement
during the Uruguay Round from 1986 to 1994?
