:::I hearby move that we ask [[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] to back out the most recent geshi update if that's possible. Do we have a second? --[[User:Balrog|Balrog]] 21:43, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
:::Java 5 appears to be fixed. Groovy is still hosed. --[[User:Balrog|Balrog]] 00:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 
::::From the moment I woke up this morning to a couple hours past when I was supposed to be at work, I've been working with the GeSHi and Tcl folks to get things fixed. I now have GeSHi SVN commit access, and I appear to have been handed some degree of responsibility to intake and process new language files, as well as finish the langfile creation wizard they started working on at my behest a couple weeks ago. I'm also planning on adding a JavaScript widget that allows the user to change the syntax highlighting CSS on the local side, so I can get better defaults for sitewide CSS. Syntax highlighting on RC is about to improve significantly.
::::I apologize for the issues we've been having lately. I'll roll back GeSHi this evening, and modify the tag extension to enable the old version of GeSHi for most users, and use GeSHi 1.0.x HEAD for anyone interested in helping test new languages and language support. (All anonymous visits would still see the old system, or at least some working intermediate revision.) The enabling of devel version of GeSHi for any given account will have to be done by someone with Bureaucrat access or higher (not a lot of these right now, but if someone wants to volunteer for the role, email me and we'll discuss it.).
::::Oh, and for the record, I hate [[wp:Robert's Rules of Order]]...They always seem to create more problems than they solve. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 03:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
