Call-time pass-by-reference is deprecated. Be sure to change that in the final code.

Removing block on 1.4 release. Would be nice, but not critical.

What needs to be done to get it to work? I understand the xml->php datastructure
part is finished.

Currently, limited permission-based imports and a streamable command-line interface are yet to be finished.

I haven't checked whether supplementary data is updated properly yet (search, link tables, etc), this is also
necessary.

Adding as a 1.5 release blocker. It's mostly done, just needs some cleanup and permissions work to
make the transwiki interface suitable.

Manual uploads can now be disabled separately from transwiki imports.

Remaining bits:

• needs to log!
• bits of UI need to be localized
• needs to [optionally] include history, currently the transwiki grabs only the top revision.

This is a matter for what it loads; the backend for taking multiple revisions is present.

I did that and applied it to HEAD.

1.5beta3, I'm getting the error described on comment 1 and nothing is imported.
Shouldn't this be fixed before actual release?

Apache 2.0.51, PHP 4.3.10.

I've filed the warning bit as bug 2812.
