Multimedia team?
by Pine W 13 May '15

13 May '15

As a part of the engineering reorganization, will there be a multimedia team within the readeship or power users groups? For some time I have been hoping to get Wikipedia the ability to provide interactive visualizations. Also, this article[1] suggests that VR may see widespread adoption in the next few years, and a multimedia team could capitalize on the trend. Pine [1] http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30924022

Replace [Tracking bugs] with [Projects] in Phabricator
by Yuri Astrakhan 11 May '15

11 May '15

I would like to propose that we remove all tracking bugs, and instead use Phabricator projects (e.g. with an Umbrella icon). Some of the benefits: * Discoverable - projects are more intuitive and easier to add to a bug with the auto-complete * Manageable - within the project, tasks can be broken down into columns by categories/priorities specific to the project * Searchable - easier to search for tasks that belong to multiple projects

Another open-source community<http://wordpress.org> is working on integrating their repository with Github<http://ma.tt/2014/10/sotw-2014/> for the very reasons you mentioned (Ctrl+F for the mention of github). WordPress' tool, Trac, is SVN and therefore a bit of a bigger transition IMHO. The work is still ongoing. There is a lively community that currently exists on Github. Encouraging folks to participate with tools that they are comfortable with is a win for wiki tech. I would say that this is a smart move and agree with others that focusing on Phabricator as that’s the system with a longer life. -Chris K.

jQuery UI, opensearch API, categories and autocompletion -- oh my!
by Jack Phoenix 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hi all, I'm trying to build an autocompletion thingy that suggests categories based on user input using the opensearch API [1]. It sounds like a relatively simple thing and I was able to hack something that somewhat works in a few minutes...there's just one gotcha: this thing is supposed to suggest nothing but categories, so I don't need nor want the "Category:" label (or its localized equivalent) to show up. I've been able to manipulate the result set so that whenever the user clicks on a suggestion, whatever gets inserted into the <input> is correct...but what is *displayed* to the user still includes the "Category:" part in it. The various ways how I've been able to remove the "Category:" part from the value have been more or less hacky and inefficient. What am I doing wrong here [2]? How can I totally strip out the "Category:" part and pretend it doesn't exist and never did?

Disable validation in HTMLform
by Toni Hermoso Pulido 07 May '15

07 May '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello, In an HTMLForm I'm filling a select with options extracted from a JSON call (using ResourceLoader addModules). Everything OK, excepts when I try to submit the form. The form is not properly validated before even when I put 'validation-callback' => true and required => false in the actual select I'm filling with Javascript. I presume this may be happening because I'm puting these options not in the expected way. How could this be solved? E. g., fully disabling validation of the form? Involved code: http://pastebin.com/Q5KA2e1U Any idea? Thanks! - -- Toni Hermoso Pulido http://www.cau.cat http://www.similis.cc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVSyAdAAoJELt+jnuNHMW+c7MP/3Wztb2T5n3fiVzVlsmD38c1 VSJc3/HLwRtQQVDBTk7U0wrqie3/s6wsBNZUds63HqiEi+YE/PaWu/oqmyziiqr5 JNeIiPdfsWYoZFJhb5Y6mTVYWrEpn2QgtGkjeItvBc5QGjCRdJEOtASoqvmbSieT mdNY30IolO8p6P4ILwoRhK/520+EIVm7YY4L12SdcPXGSQ+g1tFcZVut6uMjbfeD KPA2X0mSiusIqxLAlhpl5ZbfUCOSj202MU928rWMqQe9A73Lfi/LURXeebDyLKTm 29uoLZ/K4SQ+1FQ8blfZHyikjJi8geMZV9yqFV0K96ADQkC95WxbHHE4aNkl1lxa k4OViYOeoPekriNA/1DGBOEV2oE7oW2i7jeJTDxmWbN5DmFH3zY5QOMEpUZkXXvW FnQ6FU20AHEda2nnukamLIoc585aaUoX1hRP+ugQKpiVJIzQTOHONU0D/SW9whdO IX+P1JBw8e38ngsj7TbEQrVfmAv+4p3OXdfUI/HdeBqs4Mv+f1SB8Gi8GxUrGsOd ZsTL5NTCNmZo5d/tdAIOtSKZJAYfe75BceRNKNfcHKFLS2RB8BhFSA4s8Lfd85wE D3KHurkatzT7maAkQ17ym+ryn1Vu8FSck5d/RtHCKVq1FKPw5p68ExqQEP9qbA+A Ig/fLxolcoxV1ZzAi+Zt =nneA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Connecting to github community
by Amir Ladsgroup 06 May '15

Hey, Github has a huge community of developers that collaborating with them can be beneficial for us and them but Wikimedia codes are in gerrit (and in future in phabricator) and our bug tracker is in phabrictor. sometimes It feels we are in another planet. Wikimedia has a mirror in github but we close pull requests immediately and we barely check issues raised there. Also there is a big notice in github[1], "if you want to help, do it our way". Suddenly I got an idea that if we can synchronize github activities with gerrit and phabricator, it would help us by letting others help in their own way. It made me so excited that I wrote a bot yesterday to automatically duplicates patches of pull requests in gerrit and makes a comment in the pull request stating we made a patch in gerrit. I did a test in pywikibot and it worked well [2][3]. Note that the bot doesn't create a pull request for every gerrit patch but it creates a gerrit patch for every (open) pull requests. But before I go on we need to discuss on several important aspects of this idea: 1- Is it really necessary to do this? Do you agree we need something like that? 2-I think a bot to duplicate pull requests is not the best idea since it creates them under the bot account and not under original user account. We can create a plugin for phabrictor to do that but issues like privacy would bother us. (using OAuth wouldn't be a bad idea) What do you think? What do you suggest? 3- Even if we create a plugin, still a bot to synchronize comments and code reviews is needed. I wrote my original code in a way that I can expand this to do this job too, but do you agree we need to do this? 4- We can also expand this bot to create a phabricator task for each issue that has been created (except pull requests). Is it okay? I published my code in [4].

Hello! https://github.com/wikimedia/labs-tools-SuchABot did this and more - it was a full fledged gerrit <-> github bridge, relaying commits from github -> gerrit and comments from github to gerrit and vice versa. I used it successfully for a while (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-UploadWizard/pull/3#issue… and https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-UploadWizard/pulls?q=is%3… for list of pull requests merged via that) and works quite nicely. I stopped working on it because I got a bit bored, and nobody except me seemed to be using it :P Feel free to re-use / ressurect the code! Thanks for building this :D -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog
