Save the date: Amsterdam Hackathon 2013 (May 24-26)
by Maarten Dammers 10 Feb '13

Hi everyone, Wikimedia Nederland invites all developers to the Amsterdam Hackathon 2013. The hackathon is an opportunity for all Wikimedia community developers and sysadmins to come together, squash bugs and write great new features & tools. Unlike the previous years (2012, 2011, etc.) this Hackathon won't be in Berlin, but in Amsterdam. The event is open to a wide range of developers. We welcome both seasoned and new developers as well as people working on MediaWiki, tools, pywikiedia, gadgets, extensions, templates … . It takes place from 24-26 May. If you’d like to attend, please save the date! There will not be an entrance fee for the event itself, but a registration is mandatory. There will be a limited number of scholarships available, details to be provided ASAP. We're currently finalizing the arrangements of the venue. When we're done with that we'll open registration. Keep an eye on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Hackathon_2013 for updates! Check this page for updates! Maarten Ps. Please spread the word

Please update from SVN: UserAgent header change
by Yuri Astrakhan 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Apparently all of pywiki scripts used the same user agent header - Pywikipediabot/1.0, which made it difficult for Wikipedia et al to identify which script used or abused which API features, as well as impossible to contact the author of said script to fix it. I have recently merged a patch from Ori (WMF dev) to both the main and the rewrite branches. PLEASE UPDATE your pywikipedia code from SVN to automatically start using the new user agent, which will now include the name of the startup script and possibly SVN revision (we might want to switch to a hash-of-main-file based number instead at a later time). On a separate note, if you are interested in the future of MediaWiki APIv2, take a look at the RFC<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/API_Future>, and submit your own thoughts on what you might need for your scripts from the next version of the API, or email me directly. --yurik
