Just curious as to the state of video ingestion in MediaWiki - I know
we were planning to do something such that video users could upload
whatever comes out of their phone or camera, and of course WebM was
released two years ago and support in MediaWiki has apparently been
waiting just on this.
So what's the state of play?

[Copy paste form bug 37712]
I would like registered user to be able to CodeReview -2 (do not submit)
changes submitted in Gerrit. That is a recurring complaint about people
sending a patch only to get review on it.
If people are able to mark they change as do not submit, that will save
sometime to the reviewers that can just skip the red crossed changes. :-]
Thoughts?

Hi,
I heard that there was a plan to merge these wikis to one central wiki
for technical documentation for various projects on wikimedia, what is
the current status of that? Are we going to merge it to labsconsole,
or to wikitech? There are some services atm running on labs and
documentation is all around, it would be really nice to have a one
place for this all. Put all the documentations for software from meta,
mediawiki, english wikipedia and labsconsole and wikitech to some
central "tech" wiki.
Hey,
I refactored some code and then ran tests to see if it all still worked. I
forgot renaming a database field somewhere, so had a query that failed.
Instead of throwing an exception with the information that would have made
the nature of the issue obvious, DatabaseBase::select returned false
causing a type error somewhere else. This method is only supposed to return
false in case SQL errors are being ignored. So why are they getting
ignored? I certainly did not specify this. And it certainly is not helpful
:)
Cheers

hi, I'm a developer at Mozilla and I have a patch [1] that would switch
Firefox's Wikipedia search box from HTTP to HTTPS.
Who would be an appropriate technical contact at Wikimedia that I can
coordinate with? Is this a change Wikimedia would welcome? Or would the
increased SSL server load be an undue burden for Wikimedia? Just to be
clear, this change would only affect Firefox users who search Wikipedia
using Firefox's search box.
A few months ago, Mozilla switched Firefox 14 (currently in Beta) to use
Google's HTTPS search [2]. If I check in my Wikipedia patch soon, the
change would ride Firefox's Nightly, Aurora, and Beta release channels
[3] and be released to the general public in Firefox 16 (October 2012).

I got four mails
page Manual:RemoveUnusedAccounts.php has been changed by Sumanah
page Manual:LocalSettings.php has been changed by KrenairBot
page Manual:Edit.php has been changed by KrenairBot
page Manual:GetText.php has been changed by KrenairBot
each says
There will be no other notifications in case of further changes unless
you visit this page. You could also reset the notification flags for all
your watched pages on your watchlist.
maybe just visiting one will be enough to keep me notified about the rest?
June 26-29, a bunch of us will be in Portland, Oregon, USA for the Open
Source Bridge conference.
http://opensourcebridge.org/events/2012/schedule
WMF is sponsoring the Friday unconference day, and will host a hacking
table that day as well as (I hope) the Tuesday "Hacker Lounge
Project/Community Night."
Wikimedians are giving several talks during OSBridge:
"Identity, Reputation and Gratitude: Designing for a community" by
Brandon Harris: Tuesday, 1:30
"A snapshot of Open Source in West Africa" by Renaud Gaudin:
Tuesday, 3:45
"Building A Visual Editor for Wikipedia" by Roan Kattouw and Trevor
Parscal: Tuesday, 4:45
"Internationalization @Wikipedia: Helping add the next billion web
users" by Alolita Sharma: Wednesday, 10am
"Why you need to host 100 new wikis just for yourself." by Ward
Cunningham: Wednesday, 2:30
"Outreach Events: My Triumphs, My Mistakes" by Asheesh Laroia and
me: Thursday, 3:45
I give the opening keynote address on Tuesday morning. My tentative
title: "Be Bold."
If you're in or near Portland and want to come, let me know; I might be
able to hook you up with a free conference pass.

Hey,
I just trying giving a frequent contributor to one of the extensions I
maintain the right to create new branches on gerrit. Looks like I'm only
able to add groups, while I cannot add or remove people from the extension
owner group for this extension, nor do I appear to be able to create new
groups.
Is there are sane way to do this, or do I need to use the completely broken
workflow of going to a wiki page and bugging other people about giving
access to an extension they are not even familiar with?
Cheers

I started hacking together a node.js library for building command-line tools around Gerrit's JSON-RPC API. I put a demo up on GitHub: https://github.com/atdt/gerp. Looking for interested parties to fork / help out. Feedback welcome.
