Heads-up
Just a quick heads-up for anyone who cares, but I have no futher intention to continue working on the (uncommitted) Slideshow extension I wrote for MediaWiki back in the summer, nor do I intend to commit the work I was doing on log formatting methods. I don’t see myself committing any further code to the mainline, nor any extensions for the foreseeable future.

Hoi,
It is sad to learn this Rob. Would you be willing to hand the work over to someone else ?
Thanks,
Gerard

Hi Rob,
Sad to hear this. But, you have to enjoy what you’re doing and get something out of it – if you’re no longer getting that, then it’s time to stop and move on to more rewarding endeavours. No matter what you end up doing, it’s important to enjoy it and find it fulfilling.
– All the best,
Nick.

I suppose I’ll do some log stuff when I get to it.
I know a ‘LogLine’ hook was added to alter the revert link and comment(?). I could get logs into using Pager on timestamp and re-organize the log action text and add a hook to get extension to use log_params for that.

That’s a shame Rob – I’ve always found your contributions to be superb, both code-wise and during debate. Good luck in all you endeavor to pursue.
