Okee doke. How much time should we ask for to fix both TMH and
MediaViewer?
Personally my recommendation would be to keep the jQuery backwards
compatibility script until the next release branch is cut (which is in
November, I think?). It does not block any further work (the upgrade
already happened, the script just keeps some removed methods in existence),
and for third parties who are working with the tarballs, switching from
jQuery 1.8 to 1.11 without any help in transitioning will be harsh.
As far as multimedia issues are concerned: we agreed (as I understand it)
to only work on TMH upgrade after the GWToolset load issues are resolved,
since those actually block people from using the site, while depending on
deprecated jQuery methods does not. If we want to revisit that decision,
fixing TMH is probably not a huge amount of work - we could start on it now
and be done by the original June 1 target date. If we stick to giving
GWToolset higher priority - it's hard to estimate how long that will take.
The optimistic scenario is that our current plans (rendering reference
thumbnails on upload, using a reference thumbnail chain to speed up
resizing and lighten the bandwidth load of scalers, use poolcounter to
limit the number of expensive images that can be thumbnailed in parallel)
are sufficient and turn out to be not too hard to implement, in which
case... maybe a month? Gilles probably has a better grasp on the timeline.
My optimistic estimates tend to be optimistic in the negative sense of the
word :-)
