Fwd: [QA] First post (almost)
by Quim Gil 22 May '13

22 May '13

Hi, we have now a mailing list dedicated to QA specific topics: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/qa http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/qa/ Please forward to your colleagues interested in testing and in contributing to Wikimedia! See the rationale and background below. -------- Original Message -------- Welcome to the QA list! This mailing list is an umbrella to host people and discussions focusing on software quality assurance in all its aspects: exploratory testing, browser automation testing, unit testing, continuous integration, the beta cluster, bug management and community QA activities. We hope this list becomes useful to integrate and retain people primarily interested in testing / QA. We are seeing many people interested in testing from different angles. Some people are current developers willing to learn and discuss more about this topic, best practices, etc. Some are people new to the community that see testing / QA as a way to contribute in technical tasks other than development. This specialized list follows the good results offered by precedents like the Analytics, Design of Editor Engagement lists. wikitech-l subscribers will still receive the deep & wide QA related announcements. No teams comfortable with the status quo will be encouraged to change their current communication practices because of this list. There is a bit more background at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48057 Now, who's next? -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil

Is it possible to set revision tags from the API?
by Jamie Thingelstad 20 May '13

20 May '13

I've looked into this and my conclusion is that it isn't possible, but I would really like to do this so I figured I would ask. I have a bot making edits via the API and I would like to use revision tags with the bots edits. Is this possible from the API? I see where I can retrieve them in revisions, and get them as properties for a number of things. But I can't seem to see anyway that I can associate a tag with a given revision or edit.

State of MediaWiki's render action (parameter to index.php)
by MZMcBride 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi. https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=597288&oldid=579490 https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?diff=691576&oldid=686908 These two diffs explain what happened better than I could. I think this was the best outcome, but I'm posting on this list in case I missed some other discussion about the render action and it is, in fact, now deprecated. I checked the talk page, but didn't see anything. MZMcBride

Code review for someone who knows OCaml
by Matthew Flaschen 20 May '13

20 May '13

If you know OCaml, would you mind taking a look at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/64263/ . Specifically, it looks from https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/Math.git;a=blo… like it only prints extra information (beyond the single-letter error code) for Texutil.Illegal_tex_function . Given that, I removed parameters from the other ones (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/64263/8/MathTexvc.php). It looks straightforward, but another set of eyes might help, since I don't know OCaml. Thanks, Matt Flaschen

Tutorial on Semantic MediaWiki in Russian
by Yury Katkov 20 May '13

20 May '13

Hi everyone! In Semantic MediaWiki we have great but very long documentation. I've tried to write a small introduction to SMW. It's only in Russian now (I know that some amount of Russian MediaWikers are reading this mailing list), but I think to write something similar in English (maybe to IBM DeveloperWorks). http://habrahabr.ru/post/173877/ If you don't know Russian you can enjoy the pictures anyway ;) Cheers, ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote

Re: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki 1.21 delayed

Dmitrii, Please do not reply-all when writing a reply to an email without also trimming off all but one mailing list. For my part, I'll avoid sending out announcements with multiple lists in the "To:" and "CC:" fields from now on. On 05/18/2013 12:18 PM, Dmitrii Kouznetsov wrote: > What for do you need the complex operations? > I thought, the PHP supports only the real arithmetics.. You are using a different definition of "logistics" than I am. I posted the definition I'm using: >> The detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many >> people, facilities, or supplies. Perhaps the article on Wikipedia would be helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistics I can't release today because releasing software is a complex operation that involves coordination and cooperation of several people -- some of whom are not available today. I didn't properly anticipate the amount of coordination that this would take when I said I would make a release today. That is why I said I ran into a problem of logistics.
