MediaWiki interface for touchscreens
by ENWP Pine 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

After reading the guide to Windows 8 and watching the video at http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57541463/where-do-i-click-again-a-guide…, I’m wondering if we’re doing anything to optimize the MediaWiki interface for touchscreens. Is there any work underway in this area? I hope that, if so, intuitiveness is a high priority. Thanks, Pine

SPDY?
by Strainu 28 Oct '12

28 Oct '12

Hi, Are there any plans for an SPDY [1] test on the Wikimedia servers? I'm currently doing some speed tests on a robot and I found out (not quite to my surprise) that it's much quicker to get whole pages (hundreds at a time) than to ask the API for each page's last edit time. I would love to see how would the results compare when using SPDY. Have a nice Sunday, Strainu [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPDY

Problems with adding a new toolbar element (probably due to recent deployments)
by Strainu 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

Hi, Some time ago, I've added a new toolbar button on ro.wp for the Romanian quotation sign. The code is at [1] (the part below //ghilimele ). It hasn't changed in 2012. However, today I noticed that the picture is not displayed any more. On FF I see the alt text and IE complains about "unsafe content" and does not display anything. Looking in the page source, I see the image as being [2]. Accessing that URL directly gets me a 404. Sure enough, if I remove the timestamp, it works. I suppose this is somehow linked to the recent deployment of MW 1.21wmf2, but the link is not obvious to me. Can someone help with advice on how fix the display problem and also the "unsafe content" warning in IE? Thanks, Strainu [1] https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Toolbar.js [2] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Ghilimele_rom%C3%A2ne%C…

Problems with PHPUnit
by Niklas Laxström 26 Oct '12

26 Oct '12

I recently updated packages via PEAR. I don't remember what exactly, but right now I have PHPUnit-3.6.12 PHP_Invoker-1.1.1 When I try to run tests for Translate I get: 1) SpecialPagesTest::testSpecialPage with data set #3 ('LanguageStats') Fatal error: Call to undefined function php_timer_autoload() in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Util/GlobalState.php on line 381 make: *** [default] Error 255 Any ideas? -Niklas -- Niklas Laxström

Gerrit & Jenkins downtime tomorrow (10/24)
by Chad 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

All, We're upgrading the Gerrit and Jenkins boxes to Precise tomorrow. Downtime is scheduled for 14:00-16:00UTC. During this time, services provided by these boxes (this includes Gitweb) may be intermittent. I do not anticipate the upgrades to take the full 2 hours, but we're giving ourselves plenty of time just in case. For the interested: the servers in question are manganese, formey and gallium. -Chad

SSL Validation in Http
by Tyler Romeo 25 Oct '12

25 Oct '12

Hey, So I found an interesting paper on SSL validation in non-browser clients: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_ccs12.pdf One of the things is points out is that many clients set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST to true. However, this actually disables certain validation steps, and the proper value for this should actually be 2. And in our CurlHttpRequest, the default for sslVerifyHost is true. I'm going to submit a patch to change the default to 2 so that we actually perform validation, but I wanted to check and ask if there was any prior reason that we explicitly didn't set it to 2. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo(a)gmail.com
