Hello,
Please join us on the next Wikimedia bug day:
**2014-10-08, 14:00–22:00 UTC** [1] in #wikimedia-tech on Freenode IRC.[2]
We will be triaging bug reports for the Collection extension (Book tool)
in general and PDF export in particular, which were just switched to a
new backend (OCG).[3] We have two immediate goals:
1) recover 100 % of the relevant reports from the defunct PediaPress
tracker;[4]
2) get a clean list of known PDF issues that the new backend didn't fix.
Everyone is welcome to join any time these weeks, and no technical
knowledge is needed! It's an easy way to get involved or to give
something back.
We encourage you to record your activity on the etherpad [4].
This information and more can be found here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage/201410
For more information on triaging in general, check out
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage
I look forward to seeing you there. Please distribute further by email,
talk pages etc. (Collection is used on almost 2 thousands wikis!)
Sorry for the crossposting,
Nemo
