I'm not sure if this is by design, but it seems when using a tag extension
inside of a template, the tag extension is not passed the correct frame
information about the template when using subst: or Parser::preprocess
For example: The contents of Template:Test are:
<SomeTagExtension>
{{{1}}}
</SomeTagExtension>
When using {{subst:Test|Hello World}} You get
<SomeTagExtension>
{{{1}}}
</SomeTagExtension>
Even if SomeTagExtension is correctly using $parser->recursiveTagParse.
It seems the $frame value does not contain the template variables when
using subst or preprocess. The frame object type is PPFrame_DOM instead of
PPTemplateFrame_DOM.
Am I doing something wrong, is this by design, or is it a bug?
Thanks
Andrew
Greetings all,
I am pleased to announce that Michelle Grover joins WMF this week as a
Mobile QA contractor.
Michelle has worked as a Java Developer, Software Developer in Test,
Release Engineer for Adobe, and Mobile QA Automation Lead for
Crowdfusion (They developed The Daily, TMZ, Telepictures mobile
applications). She's worked closely with agile teams (SCRUM and XP)
over the past 7 + years, Implemented Kanban and setup and configured
CI using Hudson,Team CIty and Cruise Control. She's been married 17
years and has a 6 year old son. Currently lives in Monument, CO and
has spent a lot of time up in the mountains.
Michelle will help both the community and mobile team build out a
sound process for testing both the mobile web and our apps. The team
would like to welcome her and wish her success.

I'd like an excuse to get to the Front Range, though, hopefully Michelle
and I could meet face-to-face at some point. http://goo.gl/maps/6m5yz
It's been a real pleasure working with Michelle through the hiring process
and orientation, and I am looking forward to the QA staff doing some nifty
things in the very near future.
-Chris

Hey,
> Nice!!!! Looking forward to demos at SMWCon :)
There will indeed be demo's, see
http://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Fall_2012/New_features_in_Map…
> BTW, is Semantic Bundle going to be updated with the latest maps soon?
This depends, we've not seen a new Semantic Bundle for a while due to the
git migration, and no one seems to be willing to update the build scripts.
That should be rather simple though, so if any developers wants to help out
here...
> If not, are there any dependencies that will break if I upgrade to Maps
2.0?
Maps 2.0 requires Validator 0.5. So if you have any extensions that use
Validator, I'd recommend you get their latest version. There is a
compatibility layer that should prevent breakage, but updating is still
advisable. In particular Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic Result Formats.
Both these extensions have not seen a new release yet using this version of
Validator, but they are close to seeing a release, and should be pretty
stable at this point. If you don't want to run beta versions you'll be
better off waiting another month or so with upgrading your extensions.
I'd recommend the same for anyone using OpenLayers and wants high
stability, there are some non-trivial open issues which are also present in
the 2.0 release.
Cheers

A number of leading browser vendors and other tech companies, including
Microsoft, Google, Apple, Adobe, Facebook, HP, Nokia, Mozilla, Opera and the
W3C, just announced the launch of the Web Platform Docs project at
WebPlatform.org. The project aims to create ³a new, authoritative open web
standards documentation site,² says Opera Software. The wiki-like site, says
Opera, wants to ensure that developers can easily find ³accurate, quality
information on all the latest HTML5, CSS4 and other standards features
across the multitude of available web-based resources.²

It's a MediaWiki wiki. Details are here:

It is a bit confusing that
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20121001/enwiki-20121001-md5sums.txt
has newer hash values that aren't in
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-md5sums.txt. I'm
guessing that the "latest" md5sums files get updated only at the end of
a cycle when all dumps for the month have been completed? (In other
words, the idea is that the "latest" directory contains backups that
have been *completed*, and the md5sums file isn't complete until *all of
the other backups* which it is going to reference are complete.) I was
expecting the "latest" md5sums file to have "rolling" content matching
the rolling content of the "latest" directory itself. If the latter is
possible without too great of administrative hassle, it could be a nice
feature. Otherwise, it would seem that "latest-md5sums" is almost always
outdated relative to the other files in "latest".

I am delighted to announce that October 8th will be Andre Klapper's
first day as Wikimedia Foundation's Bug Wrangler. [0]
You've seen him on IRC as "andre__" and on mediawiki.org as Malyacko,
and sadly that's mostly how I'll be seeing him since he lives in the
Czech Republic. He speaks German, English, French, and Czech, and can
kinda read Russian. You might have met him at the 2012 Berlin hackathon.
Andre got into open source because he switched to Linux, had a support
question about GNOME Evolution, and got sucked into bug triage from
there. You can read more about that in his essay "Kick, Push" in Open
Advice <open-advice.org>. He's an editor of German- and
English-language Wikimedia projects, and has already started commenting
on and nudging bugs in our Bugzilla.
I know Andre through the GNOME community, where he is Bugzilla
maintainer and bugsquad member, member of the Release Team, member of
the Translation Project Coordination team, member of the Czech GNOME
translation teams, and author & maintainer of the GNOME Evolution user
documentation. And he organized and ran GNOME's part in Google Code-In
2010/11 and 2011/12, so he might have opinions on whether Wikimedia
should participate this year.
Remember Maemo? [1] Andre worked as bugmaster on Maemo and MeeGo as well.
I am thoroughly pleased that we were able to snag Andre for ourselves,
and think his abilities and experience make him a great addition to
WMF's Engineering Community Team and to Wikimedia. Welcome!
[0] In case you're new and wondering what a bug wrangler does:
http://tieguy.org/talks-files/LCA-2005-paper-html/index.html . In case
you're an old-timer: this is the same job Mark Hershberger did as
"Bugmeister" and I changed the title to something less gendered.
[1] Last year at the GSoC mentor summit, Andre and I were sitting next
to each other in a session, both got out our N900s to take notes, and
started laughing. It's like the Newton of our time.

Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce that Željko Filipin joins WMF this week as QA
Engineer.
Željko is is a world-class expert on browser test automation, software
testing, and related systems and tools. He will be leading our browser
test automation effort as well as doing other QA and testing work.
Željko writes an authoritative blog about test automation, and is active
(and highly visible) on Github and Stackoverflow. He hosted the Watir (Web
Application Testing In Ruby) podcast for a long time, and is a
long-standing member of the Watir Core Team.
Željko lives with his family in Zagreb, Croatia, where he is a competitive
table tennis player.
I am particularly pleased, proud, and excited to make this announcement
because Željko and I have been acquainted for many years. He and I were
both early adopters of Watir, the first viable open source browser test
automation tool in history. This is the first time we have worked together
professionally, and I could not be happier that he is our new QA Engineer.
