OXPs and the Wiki
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2009 6:35 am
Hi,
yesterday I've seen a log from someone with a bug report and thought I should verify his oxp versions against mine, in case he could have used some outdated oxps. Turned out that I was having at leastthree four where I was using the previous instead of latest version 
That's really interesting as I've been away for a few months and when I came back, I verified my whole oxp folders versions against those on the Wiki. Thus I did it again yesterday - and guess what? The Wiki claims that I do have the most recent version, but when I clicked on their download links, I did receive newer versions
Thus, PLEASE, if you update an OXP also instantly do update the revision history on the page of it and it would also make things much easier to keep up to date if there would be the most recent version number in the page that lists all the oxps updated/used.
I think that pretty many also would benefit if there were a single thread that's only used by OXPers to notify the readers that they have updated their OXP - that would make it much easier to ensure that one is running the latest version without constantly checking the Wiki.
Oh, and I won't tell you the names or authors of these OXPs where I did notice that problem, as I'd prefer that everyone who has updated an OXP this year verifies the Wiki and (if necessary) updates it. Maybe I missed some more updates...
