How to retrieve current wiki time
by Petr Bena 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

There is StartTimestamp property used in edit api, which should contain the time, when you started editing the page. This timestamp needs to be in same timezone as wiki is. How do you get current wiki time, so that you can either calculate the timezone or use the time? For example: 1) Get current wiki time and store it 2) Edit the page 3) Use previously retrieved ts as StartTimestamp How can I query the mediawiki in order to get the current time from server's point of view

Speaking of timestamp format, examples in api.php seem wrong for basetimestamp. The examples use entirely numeric timestamp like you get when paging through [[special:log]] (in browser not API) The format returned by prop=revisions&rvprop=timestamp does match the format you described. -Jeremy

We're in: GSoC 2014 and FOSS OPW round 8
by Quim Gil 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Google has just announced the organizations accepted in Google Summer of Code 2014. Wikimedia is one of them. Please fasten your belts. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/list/public/google/gsoc2014 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 We will organize in parallel our participation in FOSS Outreach Program for Women round 8, just like we did last year. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FOSS_Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_8 Please forward the news to potential candidates in your circles. I don't think we need to beat the numbers of last year (21 participants in total) but we can do better at completing projects merged in our repositories, and we should keep the trend of increasing diversity in projects, gender and geography. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil

Facebook Open Academy coordination
by Quim Gil 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hi, today at the Engineering Community Team IRC meeting we had a discussion about the Facebook Open Academy program: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Facebook_Open_Academy#Projects See the minutes and full logs at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Engineering_Community_Team/Meetings#2014-01-… In order to be on the same page, mentors of the different projects please get your basic project information ready at the table in the Facebook_Open_Academy page. Also ask your students to add themselves there. As commented in the meeting, I'm hoping to have Flow enabled in the main project pages, as a way to vehiculate project discussions better. Maryana could not promise a date, but she likes the idea. I'm hoping for early February. If the teams want to consider other options such as a specialized existing or new mailing that is also fine. Questions? Feedback? Be my guest. It is the first time we join this program and there are still many question marks. It's going to be fine. :) -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil

With this in mind I would personally encourage heavy collaboration of all teams to build a framework which lets people script the MediaWiki software including media viewer screen, log-in screens, article creation screens / wizard, an interactive thingie for working with templates [1] (taking an {{unblock}} request for example without having to memorize the template syntax). > > [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Gryllida/Templates/Interactive > > Just one massive framework for *all* of that?

I don't.

In particular claiming we have wysiwyg editing without mentioning visual editor is extremely difficult to install doesnt seem like a good idea. Personally i thought the translate box meant that the mediawiki interface is translated into many languages (something we can certainly brag about).

ResourceLoader timing
by Steffen Beyer 24 Feb '14

24 Feb '14

Hi, Hopefully this is the right place to ask...? I wrote a small event calendar extension¹ utilising the FullCalendar jQuery plugin. Sometimes it happens that the display is garbled, see attachment. My current dirty fix is to rerender the calendar after a timeout². My theory is that the outcome depends on the order of the JS and CSS resources being loaded, so it depends on server and network latency. Is this possible? Or can I be sure that all CSS is active when I init the calendar? If not, is there a ResourceLoader hook I can use? Other ideas? Live Demo: https://foodhackingbase.org/wiki/Events Sincerely, -- Steffen Beyer <steffen(a)beyer.io> ¹ https://github.com/improper/mediawiki-extensions-yasec ² https://github.com/improper/mediawiki-extensions-yasec/blob/master/resource…
