Hi all,
I'd like to suggest to grant developer rights to Purodha B Blissenbach ([[de:Benutzer:Purodha]]). He has contributed some useful patches, but sometimes they just starve because nobody seems to have time to review them. I have met Purodha in person, and I think he's very careful in testing his changes before uploading.
One example is his extensive bug report [ 1903113 ] interwiki.py looses access to Wikipedias, see: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1903113&gr...
He has submitted two patches, 1907586 and 1918278. I think the approach is worth a try, but the patches seem to be already outdated.
So, Purodha, would you like to have developer access to the SVN repository? And what do others think about my suggestion?
Cheers
Daniel
I have seen some of Purodha's work on the toolserver and find it useful, he seems trustworthy and like a good coder to me.

sometimes. More often they are incoporated pretty quickly, thanks to all who do that!

They are. I run the patched version. I am following / solving the related change conflics.

Yes, I do. At least with those small things like additional translated messages, etc. it will be helpful at once.
If I feel insecure about a patch, I can always ask for a review anyways, and I shall likely continue to learn :-)
I'm being rather new to Python, but contiously programming in various languages, with several databases, O/S'es etc. since the late 1970's.
Thank you for your trust.

Well, like in Wikipedia, I'd like to encourage you to be bold [1] in editing the source code.
I have run into token problems that would probably be fixed by your changes, and I would really be happy if you committed them to SVN. I don't think there are any major bugs anymore, as you've probably done thousands of edits with your version, and even if there are, we can fix them together, or roll back the changes if that is not possible.
As you can see in [2], you are already on the developers list. I'm not sure if this is for MediaWiki, for PyWikiBot, or both.
Cheers
Daniel

I was assuming it to be for MediaWiki only, where I contributed the initial /wap stuff, and am doing minor edits on localization.
Now, I simply tried a checkout of the /pywikipedia repository with commit access, and was able to commit the (totally unimportant) R5306. Whatever has been at work, pure magic or human help, due thanks to whom thanks deserve! I can make contributions, and I will.
I am having to prepare for a public talk on "maintainig mediawiki sites" [3] now, and in the second half of the week I am going to revise the token patch, since there have been conflicting edits, possibly give it a day or two of renewed testing, and commit it.

The SVN access at the wikimedia repository is also based on the 'be bold' principle. Everyone on the SVN server has access to all repositories, which means any mediawiki developer can edit pywikibot and vica versa. It's SVN, it's versioned and as such revertable, so errors are easily repairable ;)

O_O You mean I /do/ have commit access to the Pywikipedia repo...
^_^ Heh... I answered someone saying that I didn't.
