secure having intermittent problems again
by William Allen Simpson 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Just a head's up that the old problems with Proxy Errors and lost login status on edits are happening again after no complaints for a couple of years. Also, at least last weekend, I noticed that cache flushing didn't happen for some of the pages I edited. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19587

Welcome, Sumana Harihareswara
by Rob Lanphier 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi everyone, I'd like to welcome Sumana Harihareswara as a consultant helping out with some tasks that we eventually plan to hire a Volunteer Development Coordinator to handle. Specifically, she's going to focus on our participation in Google Summer of Code, as well as helping plan WMF's participation in the Berlin Developer meeting happening later this year. This announcement is a little late in coming since she already has a running start on this work, and I'm sure many of you have already seen her on IRC (sumanah). Sumana is currently also a writer and editor for GNOME Journal, a blogger at GeekFeminism, and is a long time participant in open source communities. She has worked at Collabora, Fog Creek Software, and Salon.com, and contributed to the AltLaw, Empathy, Miro, and Zeitgeist open source projects. She's written a weekly newspaper column and has performed (and taught) stand-up comedy. I can go on here, but you can learn much more about her on her website: http://www.harihareswara.net We're really excited to be working with her. Welcome, Sumana! Rob

Easy code review
by Ashar Voultoiz 02 Mar '11

02 Mar '11

Hello, I noticed code review lagging a bit in trunk, which I was expecting since 1.17 have kept guru busy for the last month. When I started code reviewing in October or November 2010, I have spent hours and hours reviewing trivial revisions that mostly anyone could have marked ok. In attempt to get more people to review the code, I have started marking my own trivial commits with the tag 'easy'. It would be a good way to start being confident in reviewing code if you have not yet tried :) The list is at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/tag/easy It would be great if other developers can tag their commits with the same tags and we could start shy developers in reviewing more. cheers, -- Ashar Voultoiz

PhotoCommons Wordpress plugin
by Hay (Husky) 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hi everyone, some of you might have been aware of the Hackathon that was held in Amsterdam in honor of Wikipedia's 10th birthday in early january. At that event Krinkle and i hacked together a WordPress plugin that makes it possible to easily search and include Wikimedia Commons pictures in your blog posts. It's far from production ready, but we'd like to give you a sneak peek and ask for your input, thoughts and of course bugzilla tickets and patches ;) Installation instructions and a link to the download can be found here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PhotoCommons Let us know what you think, and feel free to tweet and blog about it, of course using the plugin to find a freely licensed image for your blog post ;) Thanks, -- Hay / Husky
