How to retrieve text layer from a djvu page by API
by Alex Brollo 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

I'd like to get text layer of a djvu page, just as proofread extension does, by an API call or any exotic trick, in different settings from the usual trigger condition (the creation of a new page). Is this possible? I browsed API doc but I failed. Alex brollo

Standardize ProofreadPage namespaces, again
by Ricordisamoa 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

About this RFC <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Standardize_ProofreadP…>, John Vandenberg agreed to use the 250 / 252 pair for Page and Index namespaces, respectively. Is it wise to just go ahead and request changing one site at a time? What are your wikis' general opinions about this?

by David Cuenca 19 Oct '14

19 Oct '14

Here you'll find the proposed Wikidata badges for tracking text quality https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Wikisource#Proposed_badges_for_… Do we miss any? And what do you think of the monolingual property to link with the corresponding Index page? Cheers, Micru

Index pages and text quality on Wikidata
by David Cuenca 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi, I would appreciate some feedback on how to link index pages on Wikidata and how to store text quality: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Wikisource#Index_pages_and_text… With Wikidata for Commons ramping up, we are getting to the point where sharing metadata through Wikidata will be finally possible. Cheers, Micru

Bug day: Book tool/Collection/PDF, 2014-10-08, 14–22 UTC
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

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 [1] Timezone converter: http://everytimezone.com/#2014-10-08,120,5x1 [2] See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC for more info on IRC chat [3] http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2014-July/077867.html [4] https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/BugTriage-Collection
