Approval needed for installation of software
--------------------------------------------
Key: TS-1132
URL: https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1132
Project: Toolserver
Issue Type: Task
Security Level: Reporter and project developers only
Components: FishEye, Single Sign On
Environment: PHP-based software to be served in public_html folder.
Reporter: Mono
Assignee: River Tarnell
Priority: Blocker
Hello. I am looking for approval to install and serve software in my
public_html folder at http://toolserver.org/~mono/. This action is
prohibited by the rules, as it would be considered a "large web
application." I am working on deploying a LiveHelp system and I would like
to use the Toolserver to serve the application for use directly on Wikimedia
projects. The application is licensed as GNU GPL, uses PHP and MySQL, would
be modified rather heavily for use on Wikimedia projects, and is available
at http://mibew.org. Please take a look and consider allowing the use of
this application on Toolserver servers. If you have any questions, please
contact me by replying here. Thank you.

Hello all!
Just wanted to ask the short question: Do we have a tool able to convert
RSS2HTML like e.g. [1] (which needs [2]) installed on the toolserver?
Does someone operate such a tool?
Currently I am using [3] to convert RSS2HTML for dewiki. I think it
would be a good thing to have a solution that is not dependent on
external tools.

Is "tcsh" available as a login shell?
This is my personal preference, but it doesn't appear to be installed.
I see "csh" there, but it's not the same.
Is there any possibility of getting "tcsh" installed?

Could someone write a tool that allows me to search for the most
recently active users on a certain project who speak a certain
language (or combination of languages) natively?
The user language categories seem to exist on most projects, so it
seem like you could use those:

Hi all,
I have a script here:
http://toolserver.org/~dcoetzee/contributionsurveyor/
which accesses a user database u_dcoetzee. Example result page:
http://toolserver.org/~dcoetzee/contributionsurveyor/survey.php?user=Ernest…
About half the time when loading this page, I receive this error message:
Unknown database 'u_dcoetzee'
Source is here:
http://toolserver.org/~dcoetzee/downloads/contribution_surveyor.tar.gz
This is a new issue and the code has not changed at all, so I suspect
some kind of database/server configuration error. In particular, I
suspect the requests are being load balanced across two servers, only
one of which has correct access to my user database.
Can anyone shed light on what's going on with this? Should I file a
bug (if so where)? Thanks.

Hi all!
Apparently, we are approaching 20 Million pages worldwide (by some count. I have
no idea what that actually includes). Does anyone here know of a nice
counter/countdown tool we could use to show this off? Like the nice counter we
had für the billionth edit last year, perhaps.
I'm aware that this number can never be accurate, and there are several valid
definitions of "page", etc. I'm just looking for something that is "close
enough" to show off.
Does this exist? Or would anyone like to write it?
Cheers
Daniel

Hello all,
between midnight and 11 o'clock (both time-valuies are estimates and UTC)
willow was unusable, because the root-partion of willow had run full by a tool
which flooded the user-log (I messaged the tool-runers seperatly already).
I cleaned some old audit-logs and moved the big user-log out of the way. I
also rebooted willow to make sure that the space was freeed and that all
crashed services run again.
I should now usable again. If not, please fill a bug. For details you can take
a look at [1].
Sincerly,
DaB.

Has anybody compiled a list of all entries in Wikitionary? I know
there are XML dumps for page titles, e.g.
http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/20110827/enwiktionary-20110827-a…
But I was thinking on a dictionary entry level, e.g. the word
"snigel" is available on en.wiktionary as a Norwegian Nynorsk
entry, and on fr.wiktionary and pl.wiktionary as a Swedish entry.
This could be expressed as a table with 3 columns:
Entry Site Language
snigel en nn
snigel fr sv
snigel pl sv
An additional table could indicate the date when each Site's
XML dump was used to update this large table of entries.
Is anybody doing this already?

I invite the toolserver community to the Wikimedia and MediaWiki
hackathon happening 14-16 October 2011 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/NOLA_Hackathon
We're getting together a wide variety of contributors -- including
tool, extension, and gadget writers -- to participate, give feedback,
test, and hack together. If you write software that uses the MediaWiki
API, or runs on the Toolserver, I want you there! :-)
At the event, MediaWiki developers and Wikimedia operations engineers
will be working on Wikimedia's gadgets/extensions/tools support,
authorization/authentication strategy, dev-ops virtualization, and
general training and hacking. And we'll improve and discuss the
Wikimedia Labs projects infrastructure and other stuff that makes it
easier for anyone to supercharge Wikimedia with awesomeness.
The event is open to anyone who wants to come and contribute, and is an
opportunity to spend time with other MediaWiki developers & ops
engineers, write beautiful code, and learn about the latest
developments. We'll write code together, discuss the software, and hold
little workshops.
If you can make it to New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 14-16 October 2011,
we'd love to have you. Please add your name to the attendees list:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/NOLA_Hackathon#Attendees
And if you can only come with financial assistance (to defray the costs
of flight and hotel), please let me know by Monday the 5th so I can note
that and start making requests.
(And please spread the word!)
Thanks and best wishes.

Dear all,
first of all thank you very much for providing us access to the
Wikimendia Toolserver for our research.
Our study was concerned with the phenomenon of bots in the Wikipedia. We
published a working paper on this in German but provide an English
one-page summary:
http://www.wiso.tu-dortmund.de/wiso/ts/Medienpool/ap-soz28-summary.pdf
A shorter and revised version of our paper will be published in:
Soeffner, Hans-Georg (Ed.) (2012): Transnationale Vergesellschaftungen.
Verhandlungen des 35. Kongresses der Deutschen Gesellschaft für
Soziologie in Frankfurt am Main 2010. Wiesbaden: VS Verlag.
We appreciate any questions and comments on our work.
Kind regards
