Woogle4MediaWiki

From TeamWeaverWiki

Revision as of 10:33, 18 March 2010

Woogle4MediaWiki comes as an Extension replacing MediaWiki's build in search (test it in this Wiki!). There is a native PHP implementation for searching the Wiki only (WoogleNative) and an implementation for searching various source via an Integrated Search backend from within your MediaWiki (WoogleRemote).

For additional information, you might want to see these presentation slides.

Online Demo

The Demo is actually based on live data from the TeamWeaver project (including this Wiki, our SVN and JIRA). You can access the same data with the Integrated Search standard Web frontend online demo.

For testing the Woogle interface, either use the Search box on top of this page, or go to Special:Woogle.

Download

Woogle4MediaWiki is currently in a beta phase. The system is stable enough to run in actual MediaWiki installations (MediaWiki v1.11 required). We are currently seeking interested organizations using MediaWiki who would like to test Woogle in their environment.

A public 1.0 release will probably be available under GPL license by the end of July 2009 in early November, 2009 the end of March 2010, finally! Subscribe the announcement mailinglist.
