Hi all,
I'd like to introduce Darian Anthony Patrick, our new Application Security
Engineer for the foundation! Darian joins me as a member of the newly
formed Security Team. He comes from Aspect Security, where he provided
code/architecture reviews and pen testing to large national and
international financial institutions. Darian will be working remotely from
Portland, OR. You can find him on irc as dapatrick. Darian will focus on
maintaining and improving the security of MediaWiki and other software at
the WMF.
In his own words,
"I'm super excited to join the organization, and I look forward to working
with you all."
Welcome Darian!
Why are empty digests being mailed and how do I make it so I only get one a day and only if not empty?

The planned release date for MediaWiki 1.25 is this coming Monday, May
25th[0].
There are still 23 open tasks blocking the release[1] and not all of
them have assignees or clear owners.
PLEASE HELP!
There will be a sprint at the Wikimedia Hackathon in Lyon this coming
weekend, but there's only so much that can be done in 2 days. Your help
is needed.

In a few hours a patch will be going out which limits the number of
concurrent searches a single user will be able to make to 5. This applies
to logged in and anonymous users. The failure message is `You have too
many concurrent searches running. If you are sharing an IP address with
other users you can log in to get your own limits.` for anonymous users, or
just `You have too many concurrent searches running.` for logged in users.
These are the `cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-anonymous-error` and
`cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-logged-in-error` i18n messages.
I will be monitoring the logs when this goes out, and intermittently
throughout the week as well. If necessary we will whitelist certain ip
ranges that seem to be shared among large numbers of users.

Hello,
I think that after one of the recent tools-labs outages my tools' process
and webserver was killed, but didn't come alive again after tools-labs was
rebooted. What is the best way to auto-run several commands on tools-labs
when it comes alive?
Make a great day,
Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/
Hi.
I just filed <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T99483> about
reconsidering the "pages-articles" XML dumps that we currently generate.
I'd be interested in any thoughts or feedback about the current setup and
ways to potentially improve it. I suggested one possible approach:
splitting by page.page_namespace instead.
If someone could forward this to the XML dumps mailing list and any other
mailing lists that seem relevant (wikitext-l?), that would be great.
