Argh. It’s physically painful how much I want to update the microformats wiki. [tantek] how much currency do I need to bribe you to update it from recaptcha v1 to something else, or switch to indieauth?

It's a chain reaction thing
#
aaronpk
tho conceivably someone could at least write a new recaptcha plugin for the current MW
#
aaronpk
the challenge there is getting a dev environment set up with an old enough PHP to run that old MW version to write the code
#

Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

!tell aaronpk Can you update this plugin on the wiki? Should fix the Special:Version page https://github.com/gRegorLove/mediawiki-entry-title-override/commit/953d33d75c524c7624a9148925af50f08fe2fe50

knock on wood, the upgrade process might not be too bad. A couple plugins won't be needed afterward.

dislikes "new" and "old" for naming, because eventually you have another one, and then is it new.new? or old.old?
#
[tantek]
to be blunt, "new" and "old" doesn't scale over time in naming/names so you should avoid them except for irony

[tantek] how about “current” and “previous” (by date) ?
#
[Vincent]
as in previous projects ordered by date for archiving purposes.
#
[tantek]
[Vincent] for deployment purposes I've often seen use of "staging." or "dev." for prefixes
#
[tantek]
for domains

We have "foundation", "q" and then the main one (production) at work, or dev and production
#
[Rose]
(Foundation is the playground, Q is quality control)

Rose, good to hear actual examples like that. Perhaps consider adding that example to a section in https://indieweb.org/deployment ?
#
[Rose]
When I'm not at work if I remember I will :)
#
[Vincent]
[tantek] yup. We use exactly that in Gov.uk. .local -> .dev -> .staging -> .uk(live)

Local dev at work for me is oli.sto (just because I could), staging is olisto.int (internally)

I use staging, production, and sandbox for my company.

can we maybe turn off the captcha thing and require manual review of new accounts for a while?

+1 for staging. I usually use that.
