[ww-users] WorkingWiki now requires MultiUpload

[Lee W. <wor...@gm...>]

[Summary: as of revision 1124 of WorkingWiki, you have to install the 
MultiUpload extension on your wiki in order for WorkingWiki to run.]

Dear WorkingWiki community,

A while back I completely rewrote WorkingWiki's file-upload interface, 
to make it work in recent releases of MediaWiki.  In my opinion, the new 
interface works much better, and has various convenient features that 
work immediately without requiring clicks that reload the whole page.

I developed it in two parts: first a modification of the standard 
Special:Upload page, allowing it to handle multiple files on a single 
upload page; and second a modification of that, supporting WorkingWiki's 
import-into-a-project operation rather than the standard 
upload-to-a-File-page operation.

The first half of that is generally useful independent of WorkingWiki, 
so I've pulled it out into a separate MediaWiki extension so that people 
can use that who don't care to install WorkingWiki.  This is now the 
MultiUpload extension, available at 
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MultiUpload.

Now that I've pulled those features out of WorkingWiki, MultiUpload is 
now a prerequisite for WorkingWiki.  Once you upgrade beyond 
WorkingWiki's revision 1124, you must also have the MultiUpload 
extension installed on your wiki.  Installation instructions are at the 
above-linked page.

If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know.

My apologies if you receive this message more than once.

Thanks!
Lee Worden
