Dear all,
recently some changes were merged to Wikipedia that broke some math
rendering for almost 2 days.
I'm highly interested to avoid that this will happen again.
As a reaction my goal is to develop the changes in a new branch called
math2_0_0 that get's reviewed according to the WMF standards and is
tested in a production like environment and reviewed by the community,
before the changes are merged to the master branch. Is there a
production like environment that could be used for that? Of course I
could try to create a production like environment for Math by myself
like I did with
http://math-test2.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page ... but I
want to avoid double work and I'm a volunteer... so my time is very
limited.
Best
Physikerwelt

Hi,
Today, I heard about a JavaScript library called InstantClick
(http://instantclick.io/). Basically, it's based on the principle that
latency is responsible for a lot of the Web's slowness. It also
considers that there are about 250ms between hovering over and
clicking on a link. Therefore, it starts pre-loading the page on
hover, and then switches to it via AJAX when the user clicks the link.
It can also do this on mousedown only, which causes no additional
server load and still provides a performance boost, according to its
website, similarly to Rails' turbolinks functionality.
Is there any chance this could work on MediaWiki?
Regards,
-Kudu.
On one of my wikifarms I only have one local patch to MediaWiki core
left. I'm hoping to have that merged as well, so let me bring this to
your attention: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/98078/
On a related note, I'm using html templates and I am in need of a way
to deliver them with resource loader. Max Semenik has already made a
patch for that, so please have a look at that too:

Hi,
resolving https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/46377, I have in-
stalled an instance of MeetBot on Tools that now listens in
#wikimedia-office.
MeetBot keeps minutes of IRC meetings with an easy syntax
for topics and action items and exports them as text, HTML
or wiki text;
cf. http://meetbot.debian.net/Manual.html#user-reference for
user commands.
Exported minutes are not backed up; that means that it is
*your* responsibility after a meeting to upload them to a
wiki, post them to a mailing list or save them elsewhere.
As a corollary, there should never be any links to minutes
or logs under https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/.
The set up is described at
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Tools/meetbot#Admin…>.
If meetbot should attend other channels as well, please file
a bug in product Tool Labs tools.
Tim
All connections to tools.wmflabs is out, ssh, ftp, http, and https are all
non-functional. I am getting zero response on IRC, can someone with Coren's
mobile number give him a call?

Hi,
bugzilla.wikimedia.org will be unavailable due to maintenance work on
Wednesday, February 12th from 22:00 UTC until max. Thursday, February
13th 01:00 UTC.
Plans include:
* upgrading Bugzilla to newer version
* moving Bugzilla to new server
* depending on how smooth things go, doing admin maintenance work
while bugmail is switched off for a moment, like
** merging the numerous 1.20.x version field entries into one
** mass-removing "wikibugs-l@" from CC lists of reports (see bug
47013) as it's set as a globalwatcher anyway
** maybe restructuring the taxonomy of Mobile components
(currently still discussed in the Mobile team)
Crossing fingers,
andre

Google Summer of Code 2014 has started.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014
(Thank you Raylton for creating this page)
The first step is to apply as Wikimedia organization before February 14.
I can do this, with your help:
* We need another org admin ready to work. I was the primary org admin
in GSoC 2013 and I'm also primary/only org admin in FOSS OPW and
Facebook Oen Academy. Google Code-in was different, with Andre and me
really sharing the org admin role. This brought better and more reliable
program administration, plus useful knowledge shared by more people for
future editions. Interested? Please reply.
* We need to add proposals with mentors and community buy-in under the
"Featured project ideas" section at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Featur…
. Either you step in now, or you wait at least six months until the next
call. Interested? Just edit the page. The sooner the better.
PS: I will be offline on holidays next week. I will submit the Wikimedia
application before leaving, almost week before the deadline. You will be
able to keep improving our proposal by improving the related wiki pages.
