Turning off
OCG. Investigating using chromium for printing.
The first sentence is unclear. I think it means "We would like to turn off
OCG" (i.e. "replace OCG"), where the second sentence indicates a step to
that purpose. Please confirm.
The best description I can find in Phabricator for "Turning off OCG"
is <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T150871>. There is also
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Reading/Web/PDF_Functionality>.
There was also a blurb in Tech News
(<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/37>):
You can't use OCG to create PDFs after 1 October.
This is because
of technical problems. You can use Electron instead. Most PDFs are
already created with Electron. Electron will get missing features
before 1 October. You can create books but they will not have all
planned features until November or December. You can read more on
mediawiki.org.
Hopefully someone working on the project can give pointers to the
chromium investigation.
