Sprint Q ended -- Sprint R starts today. *Erik*: Finshed patch so pimple is upgraded to 2.x, so Andrew can do his work Pulled in card to add prev & next to diff pages, up for review Wrote script that takes multiple class per file and turns it into one class per file. Also up for review. Today: something off the new Sprint R! *Matthias*: Code review on WikiLove -- Ari put up a patch. Put up a Flow patch to support WikiLove. Still needs a little more work. Started working on Enhanced RC. *Matt*: Finished VE spike & put up a patch. A lot of the old code still worked, but there were some breaking changes. Identified some issues to fix, and improvements to make.

*Erik*: Code review -- everything's either reviewed or merged Looked into why the autoexpand isn't working, but couldn't diagnose -- Matt says it might need to wait until we refactor for VE soon Looked at upgrading Pimple so we're not blocking Andrew anymore *Matt*: working on VE -- he'll have some stuff to work on tomorrow Small topictitle fix about truncation Updated maintenance script for Erik's comments Commented on Erik's base conversion patch some more *Matthias*: Worked on logging entries, currently doesn't show suppressed topic title on board. thought it was small, but apparently we have bad data in the maintenance table. title & namespace are inconsistently logged. Patches are up. Tomorrow: pick up something that's ready for the sprint we're starting.

I am very happy to see such strong interest in VE from the education communitty. FYI, if we don't hear back about a lesson plan for VE training in the next few days, either in Hebrew or English, I will contact our colleague Michal who is the executive director of WMIL to see if she can provide us with at least a Hebrew version that we can use for inspration.

Hi Juliana, The attendees at the Cascadia Wikimedians User Group editing workshop expressed a strong preference for VisualEditor after learning the traditional interface with The Wikipedia Adventure. Hi Amir, Would you be willing to translate the training into English? Pine On Feb 21, 2015 12:00 PM, "domusaurea" <domusaurea(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Excellent point, Pine.

Editor training with VisualEditor
by Pine W 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Hi all, Is there a lesson plan available for an editor training workshop that uses VisualEditor? New editors seem to prefer learning VE but all lesson plans that I know of use the traditional wikitext interface. I would like to be able to teach new editors the basics of editing and referencing using VE, plus talk pages using wikitext, in a one hour format. Thanks, Pine

*Erik*: Two tests we have for extracting from Parsoid weren't working correctly, and weren't running in Jenkins. Wrote a fix. Fixed problem in templating, a permission mistake that caused exceptions on history. Made some changes for the prototypes on Q1: New model for indentation. Problem with Byte-count in special:contributions. Will figure it out today. *Matt*: Working on maintenance script for lost moderation logs. Helping Nuria with a problem in Analytics. Interviewed Stephane. Today: Finish maintenance script, start working on Visual Editor spike.

*Erik*: Moved patches from code review to dev't, then back to code review. Today: question about Q1 - new model for indentation - checking out validation for who you're replying to. New model for indentation is up on Flow-tests; we're road-testing it. *Matthias*: Code review for category support Tomorrow: Q8 - lines between topics in ToC. (There's an old patch for that, check out what's up.) *Matt*: Fixed bug in Editcount script Mostly worked on maintenance script for backfilling maintenance logs. There's one issue with the timestamp, maybe Erik can weigh in. After that: Q2 -- Spike to determine MVP for Visual Editor. Erik asks -- can't reproduce T61138 - Flow:byte-count in special:contributions incorrect?

*Matt*: A couple small fixes for Thanks title text, one for Flow. Reviewed & merged two patches for Compact Personal Bar & Echo. Reviewed core skin patch. Reviewed & merged last LQT patch in the chain. Ran the edit count script on Beta (for P7), Nick can review that now. Figuring out maintenance script to keep our logs updated. Danny asked: start on Q2 -- define and estimate work for VE. We'll need that next week, to plan the next sprint. *Matthias*: Some code review today, more tomorrow. Updated documentation about Worked on ToC spacing for Q9. It leaves a gap, but doesn't trigger load more. Erik's at Scrum of Scrums.

*Erik*: Yesterday was mostly code review, clearing out the backlog. Some patches are merged, will go through Phabricator column and move finished tickets to product review. Some of them are Search related, and we may need to poke Chad & Nik. There's an immediate problem that needs to get fixed -- flow-tests is throwing exceptions when you try to post a message, and we've got some user testing scheduled in the afternoon. Erik will take care of it. After that -- there's another important fix -- Flow logging is broken. Matt's out volunteering today, well done.
