I've been doing some major work on the Event and Listing extensions and would like to schedule an upgrade for tomorrow morning at 9:30am CET. There should be no visible change to the website, but there are quite a few changes under the hood. For those of you who are familiar with the Mediawiki codebase the biggest change is that I've re-written both extensions as OO Classes. This allows me (or another developer who uses my code) to instanciate an event object and parse it when the parser sees a tag, and then render it in multiple formats later. This will allow us to render events as RDF, or store them in their own table in the db, and a number of other cool things.
There should be no real downtime, although there might be a glitch or two.
