software conversion of wikipedia.de
What can we do to speed up the process? Some people are getting
frustrated (also by the server problems) at the German wikipedia. I hope
people don't leave the project because of the much to often unreachable
or slow server, but I don't know. Hopefully the problems will be over
after the move to the new server.

We have translated the most important bug reports at
http://test-de.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:Bug_report

(German version at
http://test-de.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:Beobachtete_Fehler )

I hope we have found most of them.

Maybe my last mail was overlooked, but I'd still like to have sysop
status at test-de.wikipedia.com, so that I'm able to play around with
article renaming and all those other nice features we have now.

Maybe someone could also give sysop status to Ben-Zin, who is very
active in testing the new software.

When I'm sysop, can I give these rights to the other Wikipedians?

Thanks!

We could try to find some German-language PHP programmers who are willing
to volunteer some time to review the code. We can set up accounts for them
on the server, if we trust them, which, being wikipedians, we do to a fault.

I apologize for being so confused, but which software is test-de.wikipedia.com
using?

I took a quick look at the "bug" list and found that many of the
problems are simple translation issues. Granted, some of them aren't
quite that simple, but a lot of them are fairly easy fixes.

I asked:

It seems I could, but I can't.

When I click on "Edit user rights" on
http://test-de.wikipedia.com/wiki/special%3AListUsers

the script says:

Special:Edituser
Es gibt keine Spezielle Seite "Edituser"!

(There is no special page "Edituser"!)
