Hey folks,
I'm your friendly facilitator for who forgot that today was the last day to
gather discussion on a set of topics of the Dev Summit. I might be a bit
biased, but I think they are all pretty interesting, so I'm reaching out
with a quick overview to see if I can spur some interest from ya'll. Check
'em out:
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149373 -- Evaluating the user
experience of AI systems
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147710 -- Building an AI wishlist &
working groups for Wikimedia Projects
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148690 -- Where to surface AI in
Wikimedia Projects
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147929 -- Algorithmic dangers and
transparency -- Best practices
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149666 -- Next steps for machine
translation
If you're interested, please drop a note or a token in the task. BTW, you
don't have to physically attend the dev summit in order to participate.
I'll make sure that IRC and Etherpad are shared with all remote attendees
who want to attend the sessions I'm helping to organize. I've heard that
there will be additional facilities for remote attendees (maybe a youtube
stream!?) this year, but I can't confirm yet.

In the last few weeks I have been updating documentation on Selenium tests.
You can find it here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium
Please notice that there is documentation on how to write Selenium tests in
Node.js:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium/Node.js
There is still a lot of things I would like to do, but I think the
documentation is now in a good enough shape to announce it.
I am still working on it and I really need your feedback. Feel free to
reply here, at IRC (zeljkof at #wikimedia-releng) or at Phabricator:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108108
I was not working on the documentation alone. I would like to say thank you
to Antoine Musso (hashar), Dan Duvall and Greg Grossmeier, among others.

The 'phabricator model' is far from perfectly fitting our needs though:

That's obvious, anybody knows only bag inspectors are allowed to inspect
wallets.
Coming back to be serious, imho, Wikimedia should apply the "phabricator
model" to a 2FA open source app: collaborating in development and making it
perfectly fit with our needs

In Gerrit change 321406[1] and related patches,[2] I've proposed code to
allow the MediaWiki action API to return errors and warnings in languages
other than English. Feedback and code review would be appreciated.
A detailed description of the proposed changes is posted at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API/Architecture_work/i18n#Warnings_and_erro….
Summary:
- For clients of the API, some error codes will change, particularly
from query submodules. If you're trying to parse the human-readable error
and warning text, these also are likely to change. A few modules that
returned error or warning text in a non-standard manner have been changed.
For the most part, though, client code should not need updating since the
default is backwards-compatible.
- For extension authors, several ApiBase methods are deprecated and
should be replaced. The existing patches[2] may serve as examples.

Hi Mathieu,
I came across this on-line conference I thought it might be interesting
stuff for other engineers. I find all conferences worth checking as they
usually cover newest technologies/trends in engineering. This mailing list
seemed to be the most appropriate to share such information.
But in the future I think a better list would be the engineering list.
Thanks for the feedback.
