Hola,
if you have found yourself clicking the "History" link in Bugzilla
tickets way too often (to check who has set the Priority, or who has
changed the assignee and when), Bugzilla now has an opt-in to display
such metadata changes inline, between the comments of the bug report.
You can enable this by going to
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=settings
and setting "When viewing a bug, show all bug activity" to "On".
Cheers,
andre

Brion,
I am a lead user, i.e. not a competent nor professionnal developper,
but someone with a need that he intends to address himself if there
is no other way (I did it several times including once a distributed
real time multimachine OS based on QNX, a 3.000 sites experimentation, etc.).
I observe that most of my current needs would be solved through what
I name "intellipages", i.e. intelligent standalone (single page wiki)
or grouped (billion page wiki) pages plus a content centered
accessing solution (can be a DDDS or semantic access). My needs are
compacity, ubiquity, versatility, mobility, access security, backup,
simplicity, replication, etc. I am not interested in wiki softwares:
I am interested in what can be updated on a wiki page. I currently
run more than 30 personnal working specialized [media]wikis (not big
ones, often created in a few minutes and updated as time goes). I
have queries from many people who would like to work the same. I have
projects for many of them. With extensions.
My plan (I am beginning, so may be I will discover this cannot work)
is to start from an existing wiki softaculous configuration on my
windows machine and a copy of the same on my linux hosting company.
As I did not find an A to Z architectural description manual, my
target is to discover it by reverse engineering of the programs and
databases relations. The target is to understand how to split the
whole thing in two parts: a wiki craddle (software
programs/protocols) and wiki containers (data, metadata, syllodata) I
can (plural) dock, plug and play in the craddle. In the process I
will probably need to document an interwiki protocol to suppervise
the whole thing and the parallel/remote
replication/backup/local-global-updating.
The cradre is what is to be updated by developpers. The content is
what is to be updated, replicated and backuped by users. The
cradle/container development ballance to be advised by architects.
The probable value added services by (paid/non-profit) operators.
Hope this possibly crazy input might help.

Hey,
I have a big pile of commits that I have been added as reviewer on Gerrit,
most of which I really do not care about. As a result, the entirely list
becomes pretty useless and is just being a big waste of screen space. I
could go through all those commits one by one and remove myself from them,
though that is rather tedious. Is there a way to remove such commits
quickly from my review list by just clicking them in the list, or doing a
"select, select, select, remove selected" thing?
Cheers

Hey,
I am happy to announce the immediate release of SubPageList 1.0.
This release packs a ton of improvements over the last one, which was
almost two years ago. Particular attention has been paid to making the
extension more maintainable, solid and flexible. The documentation has also
been updated and now includes descriptions for all supported parameters.
Installation and usage instructions can be found via the README:
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-SubPageList/blob/master/R…
Enjoy!

UI PROBLEM
One of the things that irritates me about long tables is the headings scroll off
the top of the screen leaving untitled columns.
JAVASCRIPT SOLUTION
So I've written a jQuery plug-in to freeze the <THEAD> part if it is about to be
scrolled off the top of the screen. It floats above the base z-index. There is
a demonstration/download here:
http://vulpeculox.net/misc/jsjq/headHolder/index.htm
IMPLEMENTING
I've done the grunt work and have no idea how to go about getting it through the
implementation process. (No time and no inclination for learning all that stuff
for a single tiny project.) So if there's anyone who thinks it is worthwhile
then it's all yours.

Hi,
I started to learn the mediawiki skin development. I love the Bootstrap 3,
and want to use this in a Mediawiki skin. I found some project based on
Bootstrap 2.3 but did not find any skin based on new version. Before
starting form the beginning i am interested to know is anyone working on
it.
regards

Hey all,
Some of you may know our belowed robot, which is working as a slave in
some of our dev channels. Unfortunately, freenode as well as wikimedia
labs is a bit unstable, when it comes to network connectivity. So both
freenode servers as well as internet connectivity of labs are
occasionally down. This is causing some troubles to wm-bot who isn't
really able to reconnect, given to laziness of its developers as well
as complexity of multiple bouncers it is using.
For this reason, it would be nice if we could have more operators of
this bot, who will not just bring it back up in case some of its
instances die, but who would also help to its users and participate in
general bot maintenance.
The bot is running on wikimedia labs on ubuntu instance, and is
written in c#, which in fact is irrelevant, because for its operation
you don't need to have knowledge of c#. Ideal operator candidate
should be trusted user (because you may have access to some private
data, such as ip addresses of irc users who have no cloak, raw network
logs of wm-bot as well as its freenode credentials and more), should
have a rather good or excellent knowledge of unix (wm-bots components
are not configured as services, so restarting them is not as easy as
doing sudo service wm-bot restart) and a good knowledge of how irc
networks and botnets work.
If you are interested in joining our small team, lemme know,
preferably by e-mail :-) thank you
