Fwd: Results of mobile spike to investigate Knockoff-Tassembly templating system
by Ryan Kaldari 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

The Mobile web team finally dedicated some time to investigating Gabriel's Knockoff-Tassembly templating system. Specifically, I was tasked with answering the questions at https://trello.com/c/lYfyzs8A/6-spike-explore-knockoff-templating. The results of my investigation are at: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/HTML_templating_library… If anyone has comments, feel free to reply with them. Ryan Kaldari

mobile non-app feedback
by Jeremy Baron 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hi, Often mobile tickets need more knowledge of mobile and awareness of the state of things than I can offer. And they often are neglected in tech-issues. (I think more than other kinds of tech issues?) Are you interested in only MobileFrontend issues or also Vector/Monobook on mobile devices? Options: * we could forward stuff to mobile-l (sometimes without even bothering to search bugzilla) * we could get a template like we already have for wikitech-l referrals to tell people they should be mailing mobile-l instead * maybe we could get mobile people paying attention to OTRS? (especially because you're already using OTRS for the apps. speaking of apps, do you reply to those tickets at all? I sent a few in myself) -Jeremy

Re: [WikimediaMobile] Fwd: Blurry text on iPad
by Florian Schmidt 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hello Jeremy! For me, that seems to be normal for desktop sites on mobile devices (that's one of the plusses to use MobileFrontend :P). For example see the Nexus 7 Screenshots from Wikipedia and another website (on the other website you see the difference between the "normal" font size (very little and blurry) and a bigger font (better to read)). If you zoom the site in the browser, the font is much clearer and bigger, so better to read, so on Android tablet, I think on iPad, too. Wikipedia Nexus 7: http://i.imgur.com/Iaf8SvK.png Other website Nexus 7: http://i.imgur.com/miUxm2O.png Normally the user will be automatically redirected to the Mobile optimized site (MobileFrontend) with an iPad, so, if he want to see the desktop site, he must opt-out with the link at the bottom. P.S.: Sorry Jeremy for sent this mail twice, in first mobile-l wasn't added :) Kind regards Florian Freundliche Grüße Florian -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: mobile-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mobile-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] Im Auftrag von Jeremy Baron Gesendet: Sonntag, 29. Juni 2014 03:13 An: mobile-l Betreff: [WikimediaMobile] Fwd: Blurry text on iPad Hi, (see also my other mail just now on mobile non-app feedback in general) In this case I searched bugzilla for ~5 mins and didn't see anything relevant and so I forward here. Although, maybe I used the wrong search keywords. (quicksearches were ":mobilefrontend summary:text", ":mobilefrontend summary:font" and ":mobilefrontend blur". and then I realized of course this isn't MobileFrontend at all and tried again with "ipad|ios font|text|blur") I don't see the issue myself but I'm not looking on an iPad. It may be valid or WORKSFORME or fixed but not yet deployed. At first glance this seems like Brion's kind of bug? I just asked the user about the rendering with MobileFrontend. (I guess they must have opted out because it's such recent feedback? given the recent switch to redirect tablets also by default.) -Jeremy (obviously removed name and redacted screenshot a bit) screenshot now uploaded instead of attached because list has a size limit: https://i.imgur.com/oLFawll.png ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: OTRS 2014062710022031 Date: Fri, Jun 27, 2014 23:00 UTC Subject: Blurry text on iPad To: "info-en(a)wikimedia.org" <info-en(a)wikimedia.org> Just to report a bug - Since today, the text became blurry on the main content area of the site while visiting wikipedia on a non-retina iPad in portrait orientation (the top and sidebar remains sharp). You can find a screenshot in attachment. This also happens while visiting articles. _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l

iPad bugs we need to fix in VE
by Juliusz Gonera 26 Jun '14

26 Jun '14

There are three important bugs that need to be fixed in VE before we can move it to stable for tablets (specifically iPads). The first two were added by me just today. The third was reported in May by Rummana and for some odd reason had Jon assigned to it, although he has never worked on it (I removed him). Following Roan's suggestion I recorded videos on iOS simulator to illustrate what is happening in each case (thanks to Monte for letting me use his Macbook with up-to-date Xcode). https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66999 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67002 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65326 Let us (the mobile team) know if you need any help with those. -- Juliusz

"Article" versus "Page" in iOS
by Adam Baso 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

I was going to resubmit the patch below by updating the W0 and sidebar verbiage, but I noticed the word "article" is used in lots of other places. Okay if I make the changes in the other places for the actual string values on the righthand side of the = operator? I don't really care to touch the lefthand side keys of the messages at this point. -Adam On Wed, Jun 25, 2014 at 7:05 AM, Siebrand (Code Review) < gerrit(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: > Siebrand has posted comments on this change. > > Change subject: Update W0 flourishes based on UX feedback for MVP. > ...................................................................... > > > Patch Set 1: > > (1 comment) > > > https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/141852/1/wikipedia/en.lproj/Localizable.… > File wikipedia/en.lproj/Localizable.strings: > > Line 16: "zero-charged-verbiage-extended" = "Loading other articles may > incur data charges.

Brion, Can we create a build that just has https://trello.com/c/Afq8I3Ly/32-3-complete-implementation-of-event-logging… https://trello.com/c/ZYLna46S/14-3-bug-65108-ios-app-links-to-sections-don-… for sign off? Monte needs some more time to https://trello.com/c/Io6a0jEi/24-3-onboarding and we need to close out the the above mentioned stories or move them over. thanks --tomasz

Here they are: http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/LilaAppNotes We'll work these into the backlog. For now, we all know what we've got to do!

[Apps] Release time set for Android
by Dan Garry 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi everyone, So that the Communications team has a baseline which they can operate from, we've set a specific time at which the APK for the Android release will be pushed to the store. We'd already agreed on the date, 25th June, but now we've set a specific time: 9am (SF time) on Wednesday 25th June. The Communications team is aware that, in order to be fully accessible, the app must still then propagate through Google's servers and that we have no way of knowing how long this will take. But guaranteeing that we will at least push the APK at a set time removes one of the variables from the equation for them. Thanks!

Selenium_user blocked on English Wikipedia
by Chris McMahon 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi, In the MobileFrontend test suite is a build that targets the production English Wikipedia. On several occasions over the last few months rogue tests from that build have created test pages in production. This happened again yesterday, and as a result, I removed en.m.wikipedia.org from all the Mobile browser tests [1] and Zeljko has deleted the MobileFrontend build that targets production completely, so this should not happen again. However, as of this morning and because of these test pages, the Selenium_user is blocked indefinitely on English Wikipedia [2]. I am inclined to continue to have Selenium_user blocked in production, I think it is a good idea. If you have any reason to use the Selenium_user in production, please let me know in the next twenty four hours or so. Thanks, -Chris [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/141463/ [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Selenium_user#June_2014
