Do you care about Wikipedia Search and are you able to write plain
English? Here is an interesting activity where you can help:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Browser_testing/Search_features
After 4 months at the WMF I have seen many demos about browser test
automation. Tomorrow will be the day when I will finally attempt to
write a feature description in plain English, just like e.g.
Feature: Search
Scenario: Search suggestions
Given I am at random page
When I search for: main
Then a list of suggested pages should appear
And Main Page should be the first result
If I can, you can - for the good of your beloved piece of software.
Please join us at 10am PST at #wikimedia-dev IRC and have your first
feature description written an hour later. If you are busy at that time
no problem, you can do it later and we can also help you.

Hi everybody,
Please join us on the next Wikimedia Bugday:

We are going to take a look at a subset [3] of MediaWiki bug reports
filed under "General/Unknown", trying to reproduce some plus provide
feedback. Currently these are about 90 tickets (see [4] for a list).
Everyone is welcome to join, and no technical knowledge needed! It's a
nice and easy way to get involved in the community or to give something
back.
Join IRC, say hello and that you're here for the bugday, and have fun.
This information and more can be found here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage/20130307

Yes this is another of technical meetups but in fact power editors and
anybody aware of {{templates}} might be interested as well. If only to
know what is coming and the (still untapped) potential.

Hello again,
I know a number of people already responded on meetup.com to say they
were coming, but here's a reminder.
There's a lunch meetup today at 1pm. The restaurant is Buca di Beppo on
Howard St. If you haven't already, please RSVP so I can adjust the
reservation if our group grows (or shrinks):
http://www.meetup.com/Wikipedia-Engineering-Meetup/events/100864662/
I'm looking forward to it. See you there!

Forwarding just in case. This workshop is organized at the WMF offices
in SF.

Subject: [Analytics] Announcement: EventLogging workshop - 3/7
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 22:58:38 -0800
From: Dario Taraborelli <dtaraborelli(a)wikimedia.org>
Reply-To: A mailing list for the Analytics Team at WMF and everybody
who has an interest in Wikipedia and analytics.
<analytics(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
To: Wikimedia Engineering <engineering(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,
"wmfresearch(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <wmfresearch(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "A

CC: E3 team discussion list <e3-team(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
We're organizing a half-day workshop for engineers, analysts, PMs and
other parties interested in learning how to use EventLogging.
*EventLogging* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventLogging> [1] is a
MediaWiki extension developed by the E3 team that allows the collection
of data on how users interact with our site. It's been largely adopted
in Product/Mobile/Feature engineering to run A/B tests and to evaluate
experimental features but can be used more generally to identify
usability problems and to collect data to inform feature design.
Whether you are already planning to use EventLogging for an existing
project or you are just curious to learn how it works, the session will
cover a typical workflow:
1) turning an idea into a data model
2) instrumenting MediaWiki to log events
3) accessing and QA'ing log data
4) performing simple log data analysis
The *workshop*
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventLogging/Workshop> [2] will be
hosted at the Wikimedia Foundation (Collab space, 6th floor) on *March 7
*between *1.30pm-5pm*. The whole E3 engineer line-up will be in the
office to provide hands-on demos and tutorials. If you are interested in
attending, please sign up
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventLogging/Workshop#Participants> on
the workshop page. The session will be recorded but we're not currently
planning to stream it.

Hi, just a heads up about the next Wikimedia Engineering Meetup:
Wikimedia & wikiHow mobile updates
http://www.meetup.com/Wikipedia-Engineering-Meetup/events/100444752/
As you can see, this is our first experiment inviting speakers out of
the Wikimedia using the common MediaWiki link. Looking forward to seeing
how it goes.
Since there is plenty of time before & after the talks, this could also
be a good chance to chat with some pizza and drinks about the MediaWiki
Group San Francisco. Maiki & others, can you make it?

Be happy to do it again this year for a few hours. Had a blast
last time.
