Hi,
is there any possible technical way to make a filter in bugzilla that
filter out bugs that are waiting for a response from bug opener (OP)?
I suppose there could be either a keyword or something like
WAITING-FOR-RESPONSE but in that case it would need to be removed by
hand when OP respond.
Or there could be a condition that filter out bugs where OP doesn't
have last comment? Or probably it would be best to combine both,
keyword and check if OP has last comment. But not really sure if that
is even possible.
Any ideas? It would help to simplify some of my bug lists which are
typically full of bugs where I am just waiting for someone to respond
to a question but which I can't close now.
Hi,
I have some patches for Extension:Collection, which actually apply to
mwlib. While the php code seems to reside on the wikimedia servers,
mwlib is on github.
Should I attach them to a corresponding bug on bugzilla.wikimedia.org,
or should I open a pull request on github?
Thanks,
Strainu
I'm thinking of proposing the redesign of the mediawiki.org homepage as
a FOSS Outreach Program for Women [1] project. I could act as co-mentor
with the help of someone else.
The RFC process held so far [2] would serve as a source of feedback, but
the project would imply basically a restart. The progress of the project
would be public and anybody could chip in and have their say.
If there is agreement overall, we would aim to substitute the current
homepage or implement changes progressively. If there is a strong lack
of consensus that no OPW intern will fix, we would continue the exercise
as a prototype, and at the end of the internship the mentors would take
the responsibility to drive the project until its implementation.
What do you think? Any volunteers to co-mentor?
Please reply here or at the RFC Talk page. Thank you!

About time another issue with TLS popped up. Thought I'd share it here:

I think we are all in agreement that the CSS in MediaWiki is a mess
but it's not clear how to solve the mess.
I think I've created a useful bit of JS to visualise this mess and
make a path to solving it clearer.
If you visit:
http://jonrobson.me.uk/lsg/
You will see in the dropdown mediawiki vector styles. This is a CSS
file I created by manually concatenating all CSS files loaded by
default on desktop.
When visualised you see a lot of interesting things:
1) We have 6 ways of describing modal windows that take up the full
screen (click 6 times on that demo to delete these 6 rules and see the
stuff underneath)
* .fullscreen
* .modal_editor
* #guider_overlay
* .mw-fullscreen-overlay
* .mwEmbedPlayer
* .ui-widget-overlay'
2) We have 4 slightly different ways of describing a blue button
* body .ui-button.ui-button-blue
* .mw-ui-button.mw-ui-primary
* .guider_button
* button.button.blue
3) There are 13 different CSS rules for creating a pdf icon next to a link
I've also added mobile styles and styles introduced by visual editor
and if you compare those to the desktop one you'll see we have even
more inconsistencies.
I encourage you to dig into these styles and notice similarities and
help us fix this mess! I'd suggest we start moving the common styles
into a common library in MediaWiki core and change all our extensions
to make use of the same class names. It's a big job but I think we can
get this.
This script is still very much a proof of concept so if anyone is
interested in improving the visualisation I'd encourage you to send me
a pull request on github :)
Hi all,
I've just merged https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/91500/, which changes
the names of all of the OAuth special pages from MWOAuth to just OAuth.
That means starting Thursday[0], any OAuth consumers will need to use
Special:OAuth/initiate instead of MWOAuth, etc.
I don't anticipate us doing many breaking changes in the OAuth exchange.
Since we currently only have 1 approved (non-demo/test) application, we
felt it was better to do this now, instead of waiting and having to
coordinate with more developers.

Hello
My name is Igor Steinmacher and I am a Research Scholar at University of
California,
Irvine. I am conducting a research aiming at finding how to support new
contributors
during their first steps in the project. My final goal is to verify what
kind of tooling is
appropriate to support the newcomers overcoming their difficulties
when they are
willing to contribute to the project.
The first step of my research is to find out what are the main obstacles
and difficulties
faced by these newcomers. My goal is to hear from the community itself,
interviewing
new contributors and core members.
By having the information regarding the main problems, I will start
figuring out which
mechanisms can be applied to provide the support. I will keep
the anonymity of
interviewers and I have the commitment to publish/return the results
of myresearch to
the community.
I need your help answering my interview. We will conduct the interviews via
textual
chat, and we can schedule it at the time that fits better for you. Please
send me a private
email if you are interested in supporting my research.
I also request your help reaching out core contributors so that
I can gather the best
information. The data will help gain insights about newcomer issues, and
allow us to
propose initiatives to alleviate the problems faced by newcomers, as a
tentative to retain
them.
To volunteer you must be 18 years or older, be English speaking, and have
experience
in software development.
Feel free to contact me in case you have any doubt or question
regarding myresearch or
the interview process.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
given that there are some extensions which perform edits/actions
automatically (not directly as a result of user request),
I was wondering, was anyone attempting or successful at subclassing
"User"?
There are some places where name of this class is hardcoded.
