01:10.47 hcurtis Update: I've decided that it would be a good idea today to spend time learning more about and getting better at using my VM and my developer tools.
01:13.36 hcurtis During the application and bonding periods, I researched and practiced using the VM and dev tools, and I thought my familiarity with them was decent. However, I know now that I have knowledge gaps that are impeding my progress. I recall how Sean said that all devs should become intimately familiar with their build tools and editors; now I have a much better understanding of how important that is.
01:16.16 hcurtis Also, I thought I was going to end up with a native Linux environment, so I didn't think it would be practical to continue learning how to use the VM. I now understand that using the VM is the right choice for me simply because it's what I have available that the other devs can help me troubleshoot if necessary.

04:47.46 albertcoder hello! I had earlier posted this matter yesterday. I have now talked on #mediawiki about the version that will be suitable for making an extension for BRL-CAD. They said there shouldn't be any issue if I make an extension in mediawiki 1.22.7. It would work in 1.22.2 too used by BRL-CAD .
04:50.12 albertcoder First they told me too work on the latest version 1.22.7 but then on the next version that will be released next week i.e. 1.23rc-2
04:51.22 albertcoder But when I mentioned that I am making this for my GSoC project they suggested https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-core
04:52.02 albertcoder I am confused now which version to work upon.

07:09.47 albertcoder Can you please make it clearer?

09:40.01 albertcoder I am concerned about the version of mediawiki that I should use to make an extension for BRL-CAD under materials database project.
09:40.45 albertcoder talked on #mediawiki but got more puzzled.
