Hi Amir,

I plan to come. Maybe an additional topic: What to do to kill off the old branch? That way we can focus on one software package instead of two.

I was against killing the old branch because there are lots of people

outside of WMF who are using compat (and can't use core because core is designed to work on WMF wikis) but I think it's better to stop developing (and keep compatibility) compat i.e. just important breaking changes needs to be taken care of, others don't.

What do you think about this?

Maarten

Hello all,

...

Zürich Hackathon will be held in 9-11 May and It is a great opportunity to improve pywikibot, I want to have presentation about "how we can help pywikibot" and I want to discuss about bugs and reporting and wrangling them (prioritizing and categorizing them) how to make a patch in gerrit, etc. and about areas of development in pywikibot including better support of Wikibase/Wikidata, other new features (e.g. Flow) and network optimization for reducing pressure on WMF servers

I probably can get the visa in time and if everything goes well I'll have it by 16 April but maybe I'll not make it (if my request got rejected by Swiss embassy which is not an uncommon thing)

This is the topics page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hackathon_ 2014/Topics#How_to_help_pywikibot

There are several things that we need to discuss: 1-In case I can't come, is there someone else who is willing to have this presentation? 2-if you'll come and you're interested please add your name there 3-if you think this presentation needs some changes and improve (surely it does), please comment here

Best

I'd love to work on these issues (I'll already worked on pep8 and pyflakes tests)

This embassy is killing me, it's so hard to get a visa but If I'll succeed, I'll work on these things in the hackathon,

P.S. I love crazy ideas ;)

Hello,

I would love to pair with someone to polish up the Jenkins test. Something that would be nice is to install a local MediaWiki on Jenkins and run the pywikibot tests against it.

Another crazy idea would be for you to tag versions and upload the bot on the Python Package index https://pypi.python.org/ . Would probably make the install easier for end users.

cheers,
