I'm currently investigating alternative bug tracker and project management
software for MediaWiki. To do that I'll be installing some different
software on the Labs and importing existing bugs for evaluation by the
development team and users. The following software is planned for test:
- JIRA <http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/overview> + Greenhopper +
Bonfire
- YouTrack <http://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/>
- The Bug Genie <http://www.thebuggenie.com/index.php>
- Redmine <http://www.redmine.org/>
- ChiliProject <https://www.chiliproject.org/>
If you have any suggestions for this list I'd be glad to hear it.
Of course, this goes back to the original request. To do this I need a dump
of the current Bugzilla install. Is it possible for me to get this and
under what conditions? Thank you.

I fixed the reports.
English version of reports has been updated, update for other languages is
ongoing.

BTW these are generated once a month only.

We are monitoring JV and ID but it's been broken for about a week now.
Also I'm planning to conduct a workshop at WWC on how to read statistic
related to intervention in small language wp to mid size wp.
Can anyone help fix it? If possible before the 23 May?

EN and JV seem to be significantly worse than ID for the particular URL
variant Siska gave but not in general. (where my metric is seeing "Jan"
instead of "May". IDK what it's supposed to look like) I see the last jvwiki
and idwiki dumps were after May 16th and all of the pages that I happened to
look at said they were from the 16th in the footer.
(the footer also says they're derived from the dumps)
I'm not clear on what these pages are supposed to look like or what's wrong
with them. I chatted about this with Siska a bit but she seems to have gone
AFK now. Hopefully she'll reply with more details.
Maybe there's something up with the box (which I'm guessing is stat1).
Or not. I don't know if it's normal to go 5 days without updating those
pages. (first stab in the dark: is crond running?)

Currently www.wikipedia.org is not mobile friendly - when served to a
mobile device it appears the same as the desktop site meaning a user
has to zoom and scroll around the page (see bug 30389 [1]). We can do
better!
As a first step it made sense in my head that we should use media
queries for devices which support them to adapt the desktop site so it
is optimised for at least modern mobile users which would be a step in
the right direction.
I made a couple of changes [2,3] on the www.wikipedia.org_template
(temp version) to support this. Firstly I moved inline styles into css
rules and then I added device specific css rules that use media
queries. This results in a mobile optimised homepage [4] for any
devices which have a max screen width of 480px (which was the width
that I judged problems with the desktop layout began to occur).
I would appreciate thoughts on whether this is workable and what would
need to happen to move these changes over to the homepage. The current
desktop site stays exactly the same and I'm sure there are further
optimisations that can be made to make this adapted version prettier
(please do volunteer those if you believe you can improve it even more
so!).
Going forward when device detection is built into the mediawiki core
it would be great to support other mobile devices which do not have
media query support by serving these additional styles without the
media query wrapper.
Thank you for your interest and help in making Wikipedia more usable
to our growing mobile community!

Hi everyone,
I was looking through the Gerrit configuration options a couple of days
ago, and I came across a setting that I thought was kind of interesting
and potentially useful, but I wanted some feedback before changing it
in case everyone thinks its a terrible idea.
Gerrit can be configured to attempt a dry merge when showing the
change to you and will then hide the "Submit" button if a clean merge
is not possible. When this is hidden, it will show a box near the top
(along with Topic, Owner, and the like) called "Can Merge" with a
binary Yes/No value.
I personally think it'd be useful to avoid the "merge and immediately
have Gerrit yell because it needed rebasing" scenario. It's also been
pointed out to me that it could be confusing to people as well to have
the button disappear.
Thoughts?

Hi.
I kickbanned gerrit-wm from #mediawiki again today for flooding. These are
the related bugs, I believe:
* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35427
* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35538
As a gentle reminder, it's unacceptable to flood in #mediawiki and anyone
caught doing so will be kickbanned (bot or not). This particular issue has
been properly filed in Bugzilla for months now; please don't blame me for
upholding the integrity of the channel. :-)

Hey,
Can some gerrit admin create two new (empty) git repositories named
Wikibase and WikibaseClient with the wikidata user group as repo owner?

Hi everyone,
This is an update to my GSoC project that I will be working on with Ryan Kaldari as my mentor. My project aims at integrating Flickr in Upload Wizard extension in which the user would be able to transfer images from Flickr where the UploadWizard extracts license and metadata from the images, converts the license into a Commons License Template and passes on metadata to the next step to generate corresponding WikiText.
Also I would be improving the current Geolocation support in Wikimedia by providing a map interface. The user would be able to tag the location of the image using the interface, which would then be converted into appropriate Geolocation template and added to the wikitext of the media uploaded.
With the discussion with my mentor, I would be rolling out a minimal demo with the Flickr integration soon, starting from 21st of this month when the official coding period starts. I have already laid down the design mockups for the integration of flickr in my notes [1] as written in my proposal [2].
I have also been writing my thoughts, notes, mockups, diagrams and updates related to my project in one of my user pages [1]. I would appreciate any feedback, suggestion or comment regarding my project.
