Re: [Wikisource-l] [QA] Issues with ProofreadPage
by Thomas Tanon 06 Dec '13

Hi! Thanks a lot for your help proposition. I'm currently writing unit tests where it’s possible as part of the refactoring of the ProofreadPage extension that have been begun by a GSoC project last summer [1]. But as I’ve no special knowledge in this domain I’m not sure do do it well. I would like also to write some parser tests for the tags managed by the extension. These parsers tests haven’t been written before because <pages> and <pagelist> tags often relies on the presence of multipages files and so requires specific setups in the parser tests runner. An easy way to fix this problem is maybe to load 'by default’ the test file introduced by [2] that would be useful also in core parser tests to test the page= parameter of image inclusion (like in [[File:test.djvu|page=3]]). Thanks again, Thomas [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Proofread_Page/GSoC [2] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98258/ Le 6 déc. 2013 à 09:33, Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemowiki(a)gmail.com> a écrit : -------- Messaggio originale -------- Oggetto: Re: [QA] [Wikisource-l] Issues with ProofreadPage Data: Thu, 5 Dec 2013 10:22:30 -0700 Mittente: Chris McMahon <cmcmahon(a)wikimedia.org> Rispondi-a: QA (software quality assurance) for Wikimedia projects. <qa(a)lists.wikimedia.org> A: QA (software quality assurance) for Wikimedia projects. <qa(a)lists.wikimedia.org> CC: discussion list for Wikisource, the free library <wikisource-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 8:24 AM, Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemowiki(a)gmail.com <mailto:nemowiki@gmail.com>> wrote: Andrea Zanni, 05/12/2013 15:09: Thank you Thomas, On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 2:56 PM, Thomas Tanon <thomaspt(a)hotmail.fr <mailto:thomaspt@hotmail.fr> <mailto:thomaspt@hotmail.fr <mailto:thomaspt@hotmail.fr>>> wrote: Im going to work on automatized tests in the next weeks in order to avoid a so major number of bugs the next times.

Fwd: [Advocacy Advisors] Joining a letter on copyright term in the TPP?
by Luiz Augusto 06 Dec '13

---------- Mensagem encaminhada ---------- De: "Stephen LaPorte" <slaporte(a)wikimedia.org> Data: 05/12/2013 20:57 Assunto: [Advocacy Advisors] Joining a letter on copyright term in the TPP? Para: "Advocacy Advisory Group for WMF LCA" < advocacy_advisors(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello advocacy advisers, Current drafts of the Trans Pacific Partnership[0], a new trade treaty currently being negotiated, contains language that would require countries that sign the treaty to extend the length of the minimum copyright term to life of the author plus 70 years. Global treaties currently require only life + 50 years, so the TPP would represent a widespread extension of copyright terms by 20 years, and make it hard to roll back the copyright term in countries that already have life + 70. The letter below[1], addressed to the TPP negotiators, directly addresses this issue. We’re considering signing, because the letter is specifically targeted at an issue (copyright term) that is core to our encyclopedic mission, and affects (at present) 14 different countries. Does the advisory group have any thoughts about joining the letter? We would like to let KEI know if we will join the letter before December 7, 2013. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership ; http://tppinfo.org/ (We briefly mentioned TPP in the Wikilegal fact sheet on ACTA in January 2012. If anyone is interested in updating that document, feel free to get in touch! See: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilegal/ACTA) [1] http://keionline.org/nolifeplus70intpp -- The letter was prepared by Knowledge Ecology International, and will be joined by like-minded organizations including the Open Knowledge Foundation, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Free Software Foundation. Full copy of the letter: *Dear TPP negotiators,* *In a December 7-10 meeting in Singapore you will be asked to endorse a binding obligation to grant copyright protection for 70 years after the death of an author. We urge you to reject the life+ 70 year term for copyright.* *There is no benefit to society of extending copyright beyond the 50 years mandated by the WTO. While some TPP countries, like the USA, Mexico, Peru, Chile or Australia, already have life+ 70 (or longer) copyright terms, there is growing recognition that such terms were a mistake, and should be shortened, or modified by requiring formalities for the extended periods.* *The primary harm from the life+ 70 copyright term is the loss of access to countless books, newspapers, pamphlets, photographs, films, sound recordings and other works that are “owned” but largely not commercialized, forgotten, and lost. The extended terms are also costly to consumers and performers, while benefiting persons and corporate owners that had nothing to do with the creation of the work.* *Life+70 is a mistake, and it will be an embarrassment to enshrine this mistake into the largest regional trade agreement ever negotiated.* -- Stephen LaPorte Legal Counsel Wikimedia Foundation *This message might have confidential or legally privileged information in it.

Huge issues in namespace Page
by Andrea Zanni 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hi all. In Italian wikisource we are experiencing huge issues in namespace page: I enter in Edit mode, and I don't see the Edit form nor the scan. i just see the editoolbar, with the Save button, the SAL radiobuttons and everything. I have disabled all my Gadgets in Preferences. I don't have the same problem editing en.source. Do you experience similar problems? Aubrey

I think there are some small design issues with the current implementation of BookManagerv2 that will make integration with Wikidata very difficult. I'm currently writing a proposal on how we should fix them in order to have a powerful metadata management system in Wikisource that will be able to intereract nicely with Wikidata and Commons.

Djvulibre routines into Labs
by Alex Brollo 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

I (painfully) opened a bug into Bugzilla asking for djvulibre binaries installation into Labs. Any new about? Were they already installed and I asked unusefully? Are they - as I presume - a necessary tool for wikisource? Alex

The proofreading contest as a great opportunity for reaching out
by David Cuenca 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi, I must say that this contest really works well as a "excuse" to ask for promotion that otherwise wouldn't happen. So far, thanks to the contest, the Catalan Wikisource appeared in at least 6 websites/blogs/news outlet, some of them minor, but other as important for us as the National Library of Catalonia (who were so kind to announce us on their facebook and twitter accounts). So I recommend to take advantage of the opportunity and contact AS MANY BLOGS AND ORGANIZATIONS AS POSSIBLE, even better if they are libraries or literary blogs. It doesn't matter if you think it is too late for participating or not worth the effort, they can also inform about the results :) I can attest that it does work as a promotion tool and letting people be more aware of our existence :) Micru

Proofreading contests
by Andrea Zanni 27 Nov '13

27 Nov '13

Dear Wikisourcerors, English, Catalan and Italian Wikisource are running a proofreading contest. Looking at the stats (http://toolserver.org/~phe/statistics.php?diff=1) we see that the Italian Wikisource is way more succesfull: this is probably due to the fact that we have a link to the contest on the Italian Wikipedia. I would suggest you to ask the community to run it for you for the last days, it could be a boost for the contest. And, hopefully, some users will stay :-) Aubrey PS: I also think that the "lottery" prize, which we copied from the Catalan contest, is a great idea. In the Italian contest, the second and third prize will be extracted from the validated pages: this means that everyone has a chance to win, and the more I read the more chance I have.
